Russian hackers are doing this in more colorful ways than ever before. And intensify attacks on Swiss institutions. Their latest blow: The Swiss Tourism website was attacked by a DDoS hacker on Thursday. The accessibility of the website was limited due to the excessive number of visits.

According to a request from Keystone-SDA, there was no “hack” as Russian activists did not have access to the website’s content. Swiss Tourism confirmed a report from the French-speaking Swiss internet portal 24heures.ch.

Attacks come in waves according to demand. IT professionals will react to this and make the website accessible again. Switzerland Tourism assumes that these attack waves will decrease during the day. The website is protected against hacker attacks with state-of-the-art firewalls and software solutions, but an attack can never be ignored. It is said that there has been no DDoS attack so far.

Stolen data released

Attacks on websites also keep other Swiss institutions busy. The hackers posted other data stolen by the federal government on the Darknet Wednesday night. The release of federal data by hackers became known as early as June 3rd. (pbe/SDA)
