- 7 Apr 2016 10:00 AM
So far no one has claimed responsibility for the weekend distributed denial of service attacks on the government’s computer system, which either disabled or partially affected several government websites, the interior ministry said. The main victims of the DoS attacks were the websites for the Office for Administration and Justice, the government’s main kormany.hu portal and the ministry of foreign affairs and trade.
No country or organisation has owned up to the attacks the ministry told MTI. Whereas no sensitive information can be hacked in such attacks, there are significant financial and social costs, it added.
Earlier, the prime minister’s security advisor, György Bakondi, said an investigation was ongoing in connection with the attack on Hungarian servers. He noted that the government’s IT network had received 62,000 DoS attacks in a single day.
