The Taliban government is the de facto governing authority of Afghanistan and has used state control over telecommunications infrastructure to impose deliberate internet shutdowns. Documented activity includes a nationwide internet blackout in Afghanistan in September 2025, preceded by a more localized shutdown. Reported effects included disruption to emergency communications, aviation, and banking services. This activity reflects state-directed information control and suppression rather than conventional cyber intrusion operations. High-confidence reporting in this context supports censorship and communications disruption through government-mandated network shutdowns, but does not establish broader offensive cyber capabilities, malware operations, or ransomware activity by this actor.
