Kuwait IT and cyber security watchdogs have reassured the public they are doing their best to deal with the global IT disruption that hit globally earlier in the day.

This came in a joint statement by the Communication and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA), the Central Agency for Information Technology (CAIT) and the National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) on Friday.

“We are constantly working, in coordination with local and international agencies to understand the effect of this disruption and take required measures to decrease its impact on digital infrastructure,” the statement said.

“We assure people that our technical teams are working around the clock to follow up on developments and resume services as soon as possible,” it added.

They urged the public to get adequate updates from official media sources and platforms and to avoid rumors and/or false information.
