Berlin's administration is dealing with the aftermath of a cyberattack that disconnected two senate departments from the Landesnetz state network since Friday. The Senate Department for Urban Development, Construction and Housing and the Senate Department for Mobility, Transport, Climate Protection and the Environment are affected. aktuality.sk ↗
According to available information, the attack disrupted normal operations at the offices, including access to the internet and email. Employees of the construction authority are therefore temporarily unable to work from home, and the offices are dealing with who and how can be reached in the current situation. The extent of the damage is unclear so far. teraz.sk ↗
According to information released after the Senate Chancellery's announcement, the attackers may have exploited a vulnerability in IT operations. There were also reports that sensitive data may have been compromised. Berlin's administration is currently operating on the assumption that this was an attack on parts of its infrastructure, not an isolated technical outage.
The incident sparked a debate about the level of cybersecurity in Berlin's administration. IT expert Manuel Atug stated in this context that Berlin is poorly prepared in this area and needs significant improvements. Further developments will depend on establishing the extent of the breach, restoring connections to the affected offices, and potentially confirming whether sensitive data was actually compromised.
