Greece's cybercrime unit launches investigation into alleged hacking attempt at state revenues secretariat
Greece’s cybercrime unit is launching an investigation to determine if there has been an attempt to hack the online system used by the General Secretariat for Public Revenues, it was revealed on Tuesday.
The Chief Prosecutor of the First Instance Court, IIias Zagoraios, ordered an inquiry from the head of the cybercrime department, Manolis Sfakianakis. The request comes as part of the preliminary inquiry conducted for any involvement of non-political persons in the so-called “plan B” drawn up by former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis.
The prosecutor requested the inquiry by the unit because it will be concluded faster and because he wants to have two expert reports from different bodies on the issue.
During the week, the first witnesses are expected to be called to testify.
