Furthermore, on June 26, some 44 government agencies announced their readiness to conduct data recovery, while others continued their preparations. As a result, the systems of five agencies recovered following a data migration and could continue to serve the public.

The minister also emphasized that his side had continued to exert all-out efforts to recover PDNS 2, noting that the recovery process is targeted to be completed in mid-August of 2024.
