More services of the Greifswald administration available again

The city of Greifswald continues to face some problems after the cyber attack on the IT service provider in the state capital Schwerin.

The online services for vehicle registration and the driver's license office are still not ready, it said in a message from the city on Monday afternoon.

In other areas such as the population registration system, the registry office, commercial matters or housing benefits, the online services are now working again.

Greifswald - The city had previously informed about restrictions in many departments of the city administration.

The city blamed a shutdown of large parts of the national administration network "CN LAVINE" for the problems.

However, the operator, the state IT service provider DVZ, said that on Friday, according to previous information, only ten municipalities were separated from the state network as a precaution, Greifswald was not among them.

Those involved tried to clarify, it said.

RKI expects corona increase for autumn and winter

The Mecklenburg Municipal Service (KSM) and the Schwerin IT and Service Company (SIS) were the target of a cyber attack at the end of last week.

Schwerin's mayor Rico Badenschier (SPD) announced this on Friday.

The IT companies are responsible on the one hand for the administration and on the other hand for the municipal companies in Mecklenburg.

For this reason, according to the mayor, most of the IT infrastructure has been shut down.

In addition to the state capital, the Ludwigslust-Parchim district is also directly affected by the attack.
