The Uecker-Randow Hunting Association, located in Germany, has been without access to its website for nearly two weeks. According to Chairman Niels Saeger, the association’s site was hacked and is currently inaccessible. Saeger reported the issue during a meeting in Torgelow, where he mentioned that malware is suspected as the cause of the breach. An IT specialist is working to regain control of the site, but if unsuccessful, a new website may need to be created.
The attack appears to have involved a Trojan, a type of malware designed to disguise itself.
The IT expert is focused on recovering the website, but this could take time. The hunting association’s website, js-uecker-randow.de, currently displays a warning for users attempting to access it. This has prevented hunters from accessing key information related to training, services, and events such as the boar cup and newsletters.
The breach has caused significant disruption to the Uecker-Randow Hunting Association, as important content is currently unavailable. Saeger expressed hopes for a quick resolution, allowing the hunting community to return to normal operations.
The association’s members are eager to regain access to the resources that have been temporarily lost due to the cyberattack.
While Saeger did not speculate on who could be behind the attack, he did rule out Russian hackers. The chairman did not provide any further insights into the potential motives behind the breach, leaving the question of who might be responsible unclear. The association is now focused on recovery efforts and restoring its online presence as soon as possible.
