 An example of a recent hybrid attack, according to the minister, was causing panic and queues in front of gas stations. He pointed out that people associated with Russian companies, talking about lack of fuel, were behind the attack. The idea was shared by the youth organization of GERB party, which wanted the information to reach more people through paid articles, he added.
