Cyberattack Disrupts Armenian State Infrastructure Ahead of Final Election Tally
A major cyberattack targeted Armenia's central electoral commission and state media servers as the country prepares to finalize results for the snap parliamentary election. The breach caused several hours of data downtime and disrupted the transmission of preliminary counts. Security officials have not officially attributed the attack, but the incident occurs as the pro-Russia Mer Dzevov party challenges the Western-leaning incumbent, Nikol Pashinyan. Technicians are working to restore the integrity of the voting data before the official announcement.
