A huge wave of hacker attacks is currently endangering the computer systems of the state government of Carinthia.
Alarming mood in the office of the state government of Carinthia. The country’s IT department sent out an email on Monday warning: “There are currently targeted outside attacks against our IT infrastructure.” There may be momentary glitches in the internet connections and home office applications of the state government’s computer experts.
Attacks have become more massive
Gerd Kurath, spokesman for the state government, also confirmed to the “Krone”: “It is true, the attacks have become much more massive at the moment. They are intended to overload our systems.” However, the defense mechanisms and programs would still be able to withstand the attacks of cybercriminals, says Kurath, also emphasizing that no data has been stolen despite the current massive attack wave.
Summer extortion attack
In early summer, the Carinthia state government was at the center of an extortionate hacker attack that shut down many systems in the state for weeks and months. As a result, EDP security measures were greatly strengthened.
