From@katrinailjinskaThese are truly IMPRESSIVE data. Can you imagine that the state spends LESS on IT procurement per year than on NGOs!?!?! It is known that 202 million were gifted to NGOs in grants last year + there is also various “economic activity” and “other income”. In other words, does the state spend less on IT sector procurement than it gives away or buys without tenders from NGOs? @AndrisKulbergs

Elviss Strazdiņš urges not to get carried away with dependence on US companies' products and services. “If Trump imposes a fee on software, we would go bankrupt.” He urges to seek alternatives and diversify procurement.
From@KNL_LTV1The mention of Andris Kulbergs in the 'United List' program suggests that the 'United List' currently considers him its main trump card, assesses Māris Antonevičs, head of the politics department of 'Latvijas Avīze'.

From@AndrisKulbergsDay No.24 in the prime minister's chair. Homework must also be done by the prime minister. You cannot sort out a country if everything at home isn't in technical order. 🙂 Today: ➖️ An early morning interview on @TV3zinas's 900 sekundes. After that @lsmlv ➖️ Classified documents day – reports from state services have piled up over the month. I can say that about half of them actually contain nothing that social network users wouldn't already know. We still classify too much information in the country and unreasonably hide it from the public. ➖️ Met with the UAE ambassador to Latvia 🇦🇪🇱🇻. The conversation quickly became open and constructive, because I myself have a personal connection with the United Arab Emirates – I worked there in 2000 and know the country well. We agreed to push cooperation in investment, defense and economic areas much faster, taking concrete steps to strengthen the partnership between the two countries. ➖️ Met with @elnormous to hear his vision of the resilience of Latvia's state ICT systems against cyberattacks – what needs to be done, what needs to be changed and what needs to be supplemented to make our digital environment safer. ➖️ In parallel with the prime minister's work, work on approving and submitting the @Apvienotais_ municipal election candidate lists must also continue. This week the final program of the United List also has to be approved. ➖️ Special greetings to our 🇨🇦 Canadian friends on Canada Day! Canada is a great example of how allies provide not only political but also real military support, deploying their armed forces where they are most needed – also in Latvia.

From@Apvienotais_✅ VARAM and LDDK: common understanding on business development in Riga and regions. The Ministry of Smart Administration and Regional Development Minister Edgars Tavars met with the Latvian Employers' Confederation council to discuss the ministry's work priorities for the coming months and current business environment issues. The goal of the meeting was to strengthen cooperation between the state and employers to promote entrepreneurship. During the conversation, both sides affirmed a common vision on the need to reduce bureaucracy, strengthen municipalities' motivation for business development, and create a purposeful Riga development and industrialization policy. Improvements to state ICT governance, sustainable use of natural resources, and priorities for the next EU funds planning period were also discussed. The minister emphasized that Riga must compete with Tallinn, Vilnius, Stockholm, and Helsinki, not with Latvian cities, while stressing that a strong capital city and strong regions are mutually complementary prerequisites for Latvia's growth. At the end of the meeting, VARAM and LDDK confirmed readiness to continue close cooperation to drive changes important for the business environment and strengthen Latvia's competitiveness. #APVIENOTAISSARAKSTS #LDDK #Reģioni #EdgarsTavars

If this is true, then @uldisaugulis and @AndrisKulbergs must immediately evaluate the facts and confirm that this has no impact on the security of the electoral system. LVM is responsible for developing the electronic online voter registry. https://t.co/fWooAnbDuI
From@DailyDarkWeb🇱🇻 Latvia - Alleged Compromise of Latvia's State Forests Infrastructure. A threat actor claims to have compromised the domain infrastructure associated with https://t.co/cfT4n4f8L9 (Latvia's State Forests). The actor alleges they gained control over the organization's environment and states that multiple internal systems remain unavailable. According to the post, the compromise allegedly impacted: Active Directory infrastructure, VMware vCenter systems, Veeam backup environments. The actor claims backup systems were deleted or rendered unavailable during the intrusion. Several links described as backups or data repositories were referenced in the post, suggesting potential data exfiltration. The claims have not been independently verified and may represent ongoing extortion activity. Analyst Note: Attacks targeting backup infrastructure and virtualization management platforms are a common ransomware tactic designed to hinder recovery efforts. If the claims are accurate, the alleged loss of backup and vCenter environments could significantly complicate restoration operations and prolong service disruptions. #DDW #Intelligence #DarkWeb #Latvia
