Austria, cyber attack from a foreign country

The serious cyber attack that hit the Austrian Foreign Ministry yesterday evening is still ongoing and could last a few days. A spokesman said that it cannot be ruled out that this is a "targeted attack" by a foreign state. "In the past, other European countries have been subject to similar attacks," said the ministry. The attack took place shortly after the go-ahead from the Austrian Greens to the coalition with the conservatives, creating an unprecedented alliance.
