AMBCG: New Partnership to Strengthen Data Protection and Security Standards

The Agency for Personal Data Protection and Free Access to Information and the Association of Security Managers of Montenegro have formalized their cooperation by signing a Memorandum, opening the way for a systematic improvement of data protection, access to information, and corporate security practices in Montenegro.

The Memorandum was signed by the Agency’s Director, Maja Žunjić Mitrović, and the Association’s President, Dragan Radulović, in the presence of representatives from both institutions, including Željko Rutović, President of the Agency’s Council, Mirjana Volkov, Head of the Agency’s Department for Cases and Complaints, Ana Novaković, Legal Advisor at the Agency, and Nebojša Brajević, Vice President of the Association of Security Managers of Montenegro.

The cooperation is based on the principles of partnership, transparency, and accountability, with the aim of strengthening professional capacities and aligning practices with European standards. Particular focus will be placed on continuous professional education, legislative improvements, and the development of professional and ethical standards in the fields of personal data protection and security risk management.

The Memorandum outlines joint activities, including the organization of professional conferences, seminars, and public discussions, as well as the exchange of knowledge and experience between the parties. It also opens opportunities for the development of joint projects and applications for international funding in areas of shared interest.

By signing the Memorandum, both parties reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening cooperation and advancing standards in areas of key importance for the protection of citizens’ rights and the development of a modern security system.

Warning of a New Wave of Smishing Attacks in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Fake Messages Exploit Institutional Identities

IDDEEA BiH has once again warned the public about an intensified, organized campaign of fraudulent SMS messages targeting citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina. These messages misuse the names of state institutions, including authorities responsible for traffic and security. Despite earlier alerts, the attacks have not subsided—in fact, new versions of the messages are emerging, featuring modified content and fake web addresses designed to imitate official domains.

According to available information, this is a classic form of digital fraud known as smishing, where attackers rely on pressure—such as alleged fines, deadlines, and legal consequences—to trick citizens into opening suspicious links and entering personal or financial data. Particularly concerning is the increasing misuse of the name of the Ministry of Interior of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with claims of alleged violations recorded through fictitious or manipulated systems such as “E-Policija.”

Officials from IDDEEA BiH emphasize that the agency neither issues nor collects traffic fines, nor does it send SMS messages containing payment links. They also remind citizens that the only official website of the Agency is www.iddeea.gov.ba, while any similar domain variations should be considered fraudulent.

Analysis of specific messages further confirms their lack of authenticity. In some cases, the sender uses foreign phone numbers—such as those registered in the Philippines—which is a clear indicator that the message does not originate from domestic institutions. In addition, the links included in these messages rely on so-called “lookalike” domains, which may appear legitimate at first glance but redirect users to malicious websites designed to steal data. A common tactic is also to instruct users to manually copy and paste the link into a browser, thereby bypassing security filters in messaging applications.

The Agency warns that this issue goes beyond a single institution and requires a coordinated response from relevant authorities. It highlights the urgent need for more proactive engagement by law enforcement and security agencies, as well as close cooperation with telecom operators to identify the sources of these messages, block fraudulent domains, and protect citizens.

Citizens are advised to exercise maximum caution: do not open suspicious links, do not enter personal information, and do not make any payments based on such messages. In case of doubt, it is recommended to verify the information through official channels or consult trusted sources who can confirm the legitimacy of the message.

Experts further warn that these campaigns are increasingly using advanced social engineering techniques, targeting users’ sense of urgency and fear. For this reason, they stress that awareness and caution remain the most effective defense—because attackers rely on quick and impulsive reactions.

Airporti Di Roma Expands Outsight’s Physical AI Deployment at Fiumicino Airport

Aeroporti di Roma is scaling up Outsight’s Spatial Intelligence platform across nearly all common-use areas in the Schengen zone at Rome Fiumicino Airport, aiming to improve passenger flow visibility, operational efficiency and data-driven decision-making.

Aeroporti di Roma (ADR) and Outsight have announced a major expansion of their collaboration at Rome Fiumicino Airport, with Outsight’s Physical AI solution now set for large-scale deployment across nearly all common-use areas within the Schengen zone. The move marks a significant step up from the initial rollout under ADR’s “Runway to the Future” innovation program.

The technology uses 3D LiDAR data and advanced analytics to generate real-time insights on passenger flows, queue formation and congestion patterns. According to the partners, this will give ADR a more complete view of the passenger journey and support faster resource allocation, smarter process redesign and more responsive airport operations.

The expanded deployment follows what the companies described as a successful first phase in the Arrivals immigration area, where the platform reportedly delivered measurable operational benefits. With the new agreement, ADR is moving from pilot implementation to industrial-scale use of the technology across one of Europe’s busiest aviation hubs.
