The Venezuelan government today denounced that the state airline Conviasa has been the target of an alleged cyber attack, which, in its opinion, is part of a plan of aggression against the country.
The Minister of Transport, Ramón Velásquez, said that today we denounce that, since the Conviasa airline, we have been the target of a cyberattack perpetrated by the hacktivist collective Anonymous.
