According to the Organization for Entrepreneurship Development (ODA), this decision was adopted due to cybersecurity vulnerabilities identified at the national level. The decision is preventive in nature and was made to ensure the security of the submission and processing of funding applications, as well as to protect the data and interests of entrepreneurs. Consequently, as of October 28, the e-Cabinet digital platform has been temporarily placed in maintenance mode. It will resume operations once technical inspections are completed and the security of the information systems has been confirmed. The ODA, in collaboration with the relevant agencies, is taking the necessary steps to address the identified vulnerabilities and restore full functionality to the digital services. The date of the new grant competition will be determined and announced at a later time. At the same time, ODA is reviewing the application process for grant funding, taking into account feedback and suggestions from the business community. The proposed changes are aimed at improving accessibility and ensuring equal opportunities for entrepreneurs to participate in support programs. Details of the updated mechanism will be published later. The ODA also warned of possible fraudulent messages being circulated in the organization's name during the platform's maintenance and after its restoration. The agency emphasized that its employees do not request passwords, login credentials, verification codes, or bank details via email, phone, SMS, or messaging apps. Official ODA email correspondence is sent exclusively from addresses ending in @oda.md. The organization urged business owners to verify sender addresses and monitor official announcements regarding the resumption of application acceptance. // 30.10.2026 — InfoMarket.
