Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko called on Wednesday on Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) member states to coordinate their activities in fighting cyber attacks.
“Attempts are being made in cyberspace to destabilize the situation in various countries,” Lukashenko said at a meeting of CSTO member states.
He cited the recent uprisings in the Arab world, and said an attempt had also been made to destabilize the situation in Belarus vie social networks.
“We have got to know how to fight against this evil,” Lukashenko said.
He also said that while Belarus did not intend to close down the internet, restriction could be imposed.
The CSTO includes Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kirgizia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
