The Brandenburg branch of Germany’s AfD (Alternative for Germany) party recently experienced a significant cyberattack that disrupted access to its website. The attack, which became apparent on Tuesday evening, involved a flood of fake requests that overwhelmed the server, effectively crashing the site. The issue persisted, and as of Thursday, the website was still offline. AfD representatives promptly reported the incident and have since focused on recovery efforts to restore normal operations.

The technical details behind the attack remain unclear, and an ongoing investigation seeks to determine the specific origins and methods used by the perpetrators. While information remains limited, the attack appears to be sophisticated, pointing toward a coordinated effort rather than a small-scale incident. State leader René Springer emphasized that the resources required to execute such an attack indicate it was conducted by professionals with access to advanced tools and infrastructure.

Springer also suggested that the attack may have been politically motivated, although he refrained from making any direct accusations. The speculation reflects the party’s concerns about being targeted due to its controversial positions in German politics. However, without further evidence, attributing the cyberattack to any particular group or entity remains challenging.

The disruption has had significant implications for the party’s online presence and ability to communicate with its supporters. While the website remains inaccessible, party officials have assured members and followers that they are doing everything possible to address the issue. As investigations continue, authorities and cybersecurity experts are assessing the incident’s impact, and the party plans to implement measures to prevent future attacks of this nature.
