The National Office for Cyber and Information Security (NÚKIB) announced today that some Czech websites are facing a hacker attack during the course of today, which limits their operation or even disables them completely, as happened, for example, with the Public Administration Portal, on which the public can find a lot of important information related to the state.

Although NÚKIB has not yet officially announced who is behind the attacks, or which websites are experiencing problems, according to information from the Czech Press AgencyancHowever, hackers have directed their attack, for example, at the information systems of some domestic airports or at Czech Railways. However, it does not yet seem that these attacks will have a significant impact on their operations, which is of course positive for people. According to a spokesman for Czech Railways, the problems are “only” with online ticket purchases or searching for connections, which are fortunately quite solvable. In addition, both ČD and other affected institutions are working intensively on the repair.
