Lithuania seeks help to spot foreign spies with hotline

VILNIUS- Lithuania has opened a 24-hour hotline for citizens to report potential foreign spies in an effort to increase public awareness of potential threats.

 

A spokeswoman for Lithuania's state security agency, Aurelija Katkuviene, says the hotline was "a response to increasing cyberattacks and other threats to the national security."

 

Katkuviene says "every citizen can now contribute actively" by calling the hotline -- which is being promoted on national television.

 

She said Friday that citizens in the past have helped detect people "who acted against Lithuania."
