AKCESK refutes baseless allegations surrounding the security of e-Albania, assuring citizens of the application's integrity. Learn how the authority debunked claims and reinforced its commitment to cybersecurity.

Introduction: In a resolute response to an official email targeting the National Authority for Electronic Certification and Cybersecurity (AKCESK), today marked a significant triumph for e-Albania's security. The claims, suggesting vulnerability in the application, were swiftly dismantled by AKCESK, reinforcing citizens' trust in the electronic systems safeguarding their data. This report dissects the allegations, exposes their lack of technical merit, and emphasizes AKCESK's commitment to prioritizing cybersecurity.

 AKCESK’s Definitive Response

In the face of an urgent API shutdown request, AKCESK's unwavering defense assures citizens that the claims against e-Albania are unfounded. The official statement categorically dismisses any compromise of the system's security and affirms its unwavering commitment to safeguarding citizens and businesses.

 Unraveling the Baseless Claims

AKCESK subjected the claims to rigorous scrutiny, revealing them to be devoid of professional merit. The authority asserts that, after a thorough analysis, the concerns raised lack technical basis, emphasizing that the alleged vulnerabilities are non-existent.

 Technical Insights into Alleged Vulnerabilities

In an effort to demystify the technical aspects, AKCESK divulges that the referenced password in the API concerns only public information. The two APIs under scrutiny serve distinct purposes, with the password for the first API providing access to non-sensitive data accessible to any user without the need for authentication.

 Strengthening Cybersecurity Measures

Despite the password's lack of relevance to sensitive data, its inclusion serves as a preventive measure against potential misuse by bot applications. AKCESK reiterates that the security measures adhere to international standards, ensuring the protection of citizen data during the authentication process.

 Dismissing Source Code Plagiarism Allegations

AKCESK emphatically dismisses claims that the source code of the e-Albania mobile application was borrowed from a taxi service application. A thorough examination reveals no evidence of copied code, affirming the application's construction solely for the purpose of delivering electronic services.

 Image Controversy Clarified

Addressing the image controversy, AKCESK sheds light on its origin, attributing it to a standard Android package. The authority suggests that the image may have been misconstrued by individuals engaged in reverse engineering, potentially using Android Studio for decompiling.

AKCESK's Pledge to Cybersecurity

In conclusion, AKCESK reiterates its commitment to treating every citizen's request with seriousness and responsibility. The protection of cyberspace and the provision of secure electronic systems for citizens remain top priorities for AKCESK and all Albanian institutions. The resounding victory over baseless claims further solidifies the trust citizens can place in the security of e-Albania.
