Estonian State Information Systems Board (RIA) communications department head Liisa Tallinn said that no cyber attacks against Estonia are taking place now but the situation is being constantly monitored.

 

RIA said that the posting on YouTube was primarily a position voiced by Anonymous, the video does not include a call for a cyber attack.

 

The board said that IT services in Estonia have been attacked in the past and most likely will be attacked in the future but the state and the private sector constantly take care of the security of their equipment and services.
