Statement of solidarity by the North Atlantic Council concerning the malicious cyber activities against the Czech Republic [https://www.nato.int]
We stand in solidarity with the Czech Republic following the malicious cyber campaign against its Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We recognise that the Government of the Czech Republic has attributed the responsibility to the People’s Republic of China, specifically APT31, which is associated with the Ministry of State Security. This campaign targeted a Czech MFA unclassified network, causing damage and disruption.
We strongly condemn malicious cyber activities intended to undermine our national security, democratic institutions and critical infrastructure. The malicious cyber activity targeting the Czech Republic underscores that cyberspace is contested at all times. We observe with increasing concern the growing pattern of malicious cyber activities stemming from the People’s Republic of China.
Cyber threat actors persistently seek to destabilise the Alliance. We remain committed to expose and counter the substantial, continuous and increasing cyber threat, including to our democratic systems and critical infrastructure. We are determined to further improve our capabilities and resilience and to employ the necessary capabilities in order to deter, defend against and counter the full spectrum of cyber threats to support each other.
We promote a free, open, peaceful and secure cyberspace. We call on all states, including the People’s Republic of China, to refrain from malicious cyber activities, to uphold international law, to live up to their public declarations and international commitments, and to act within the framework for responsible state behaviour in cyberspace as affirmed by all members of the United Nations.
