Bexio, a software company, has fallen victim to a sustained Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack since Tuesday, causing disruptions in software access for its customers. The attack is ongoing, but key services such as the website, payroll accounting, and API remain unaffected. Bexio reassures customers that their data is secure, emphasizing the measures in place to safeguard information. The company is working diligently to restore normal operations swiftly, although the identity of the attackers is currently unknown. The incident occurs amid a broader trend of politically motivated DDoS attacks affecting several Swiss websites.
Despite the persistent DDoS attack, Bexio reports that customers have been able to work normally since the end of the previous week. The company acknowledges the effectiveness of implemented measures in mitigating the impact of the attack. Bexio emphasizes the security of customer data, providing updates on its Status page and assuring users that their information remains protected. The ongoing efforts to restore regular operations reflect Bexio’s commitment to minimizing disruptions caused by the cyberattack. The attack comes amidst a series of similar incidents affecting various Swiss websites, often attributed to politically motivated, pro-Russian hackers.
The identity of the attackers behind the DDoS incident on Bexio remains unknown, as confirmed by the company’s press office. Bexio, like other recent targets of DDoS attacks, lacks specific information about the perpetrators. The motives driving the attacks on Swiss websites, including Bexio, are believed to be politically motivated, with connections to pro-Russian hacker groups. The company is actively engaged in addressing the situation, but the broader trend highlights the challenges organizations face in defending against politically driven cyber threats. The incident underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity measures to protect businesses and their customers from disruptive attacks.
