City of Graz website is victim of cyber attack
Hackers targeted the website of the City of Graz on Friday morning and have been attacking it ever since with countless server requests, leading to an overload of the portal. The data security and integrity of the city's systems are not at risk. It is not yet clear when the problem can be resolved.
It started at 8 o'clock on Friday morning: so-called DDoS attacks paralyzed the website of the city of Graz. Due to a large number of server requests, hackers are pushing the portal to its limits. "This website is unavailable" appeared on users' PCs.
Even on Friday afternoon, the problem could not be finally resolved: "There can always be outages," explains Sarah Tatschl from the Public Relations Department. However, this has no impact on citizens - data security is guaranteed, only the service is not available.
IT experts are working intensively to fend off the attacks. It is still unclear how long it will take to fix the problem, said Tatschl in the afternoon.
