Android Blocks Fraudsters During Calls

A Russian hacker group has claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on several Bremen government websites. The attack, which targeted the city’s town hall and various departments including finance, social affairs, and education, led to the websites being offline for several hours. The hackers overwhelmed the servers with up to 18,000 requests per minute, causing disruptions in the services. The city’s IT experts quickly responded and managed to defend the servers by the morning, restoring some functionality.

The Ministry of Finance confirmed the attack and stated that the perpetrators had confessed to their actions. The Central Cyber Security Office of the Bremen Interior Ministry is currently investigating the incident to gather further details about the attack. The Ministry has emphasized that the situation is still under evaluation and that more information will be provided as it becomes available. Although the attack caused significant disruption, most of the affected websites were accessible again after the initial response.

In the evening, another temporary disruption occurred when a routine update of the computer system led to the websites being unavailable once again. However, by the following day, all of Bremen’s administrative websites were back online, and the authorities continue to monitor the situation. Despite the attack, no major damage or data breaches were reported during this period, and the websites were fully restored after the technical issues were resolved.

The Bremen cyberattack highlights the increasing risks of digital assaults against government infrastructure. While such incidents are becoming more frequent, Bremen’s IT response team was able to handle the situation swiftly. Authorities are working to strengthen defenses against future cyberattacks and ensure that such disruptions do not hinder essential public services again.
