This paper is focused on the protection of digital critical infrastructure, intrusions, and the impact on digital human rights. Implications on human rights can be serious if the state does not have good cyber security governance that protects rights, such as right of privacy and right of freedom of expression.
Macedonian digital society has experienced many violations of digital rights. The most evident are cases where personal data stored in the state’s official databases is breached and becomes public. This paper will utilize the case study of recent cyber-attacks to illustrate the challenges for North Macedonia.
