The National Commission for the Protection of Personal Data (CNDP) announced on Thursday March 23 that it will consult an international specialist in strategic intelligence (focusing on the impact of malicious cyber interference, linked to intrusion and the importance of geoeconomic conflicts).

This hearing falls within the framework of the hearings on the unproven technical allegations formulated by Citizen Lab, Amnesty International and Forbidden Stories (technical traces), specified the CNDP.

The CNDP is making further progress in studying the documents provided by Amnesty International and in the same spirit has sent an invitation to a hearing to the Citizen Lab laboratory, stating that it remains open to holding working meetings with other entities interested in the subject.

The Commission recalled in this context that the first hearings with national and international experts have shown the importance of working on the technical aspect in terms of understanding the various mechanisms, using a dispassionate, impartial and far from all a priori This momentum is beginning to bear fruit and the first results will be made available to the public as they are completed.

The first hearings with national and international experts also showed how important the founding of an international network for defining rules for the ethical use of technologies, announced on February 25, 2023 in Tangier, is.

The CNDP continues to exchange information with national and international experts to prepare its conclusions, examining various reports and testimonies according to the scientific, technical and ethical standards of use established by the Commission.
