The manor in Innsbruck was silent for about two and a half hours. The website, the entire internet and the government service’s fixed network, among other things, were affected. The IT department has worked hard to solve the problem, spokesperson Florian Kurzthaler emphasized to the “Tiroler Krone”. And it was successful: the cause was a malfunction of central network components.
The system at the mansion had not been working since about 1:00 p.m. When you opened the homepage, the following information appeared on the screen: “Due to a network outage, we are temporarily offline.
We ask for your understanding.” However, the following comment was found on the country’s Facebook account: “Maybe some of you have already noticed: we are currently unavailable. Unfortunately not via the website, www.tirol.gv.at, landline or e-mail. We are working hard to resolve the problem. Additional information: The state warning center is accessible via digital radio (BOS-Tirol) to emergency organizations, district authorities and communities.”
Network failure as the cause
According to spokesperson Florian Kurzthaler, the reason for the system failure has not yet been clarified, he told the “Tiroler Krone” shortly before 3 p.m. “Our IT department is already working to resolve the issue,” he emphasized. Some employees are secretly talking about a “possible hacker attack.” But they were wrong, as it turned out shortly before 4 p.m.
“The online services of the state of Tyrol were temporarily partially out of service for approximately two and a half hours on Tuesday afternoon due to a network failure. The state of the Tyrolean website www.tirol.gv.at was affected by this and government employees were also temporarily unavailable by e-mail or landline. According to IT experts from the state of Tyrol, central network components of the state data center have been affected. The state of Tyrol’s systems, such as website, landline and email, are currently being gradually restarted,” an official press release said.
“Many employees were standing in the hallways”
According to the informants of “Tiroler Krone”, activities came to a standstill during the “offline time”. “Many employees were standing in the hallways. There hasn’t been such a long system outage in a long time, or maybe it’s never happened before. In any case, we do not remember it,” they emphasized.
