Algerian state telecom operator Algerie Telecom confirmed on Friday that it was hit by a series of cyber attacks aimed to hack and disrupt its system. The company was able to repel the attack and security services managed to identify and arrest the attackers. There are no further details about the attacks or the motivation of the hackers. The rapid increase in the number of attacks is raising concerns in Algeria especially over the security of recently launched services such as the recently adopted e-payment system for electricity and water bills.”]
