The website of the Tax Administration is temporarily unavailable.
The exceptional situation concerns the websites vero.fi and OmaVero.
Communications Manager Katri Riekkinen tells Iltalehti that the situation is being investigated.
– The situation is being clarified with the security department, Riekkinen says.
There is no exact information why the service is not operational yet. It can be a denial of service attack, which means a network attack that aims to prevent the use of websites.
The tax inspector will also tell you about it messaging service in X (formerly Twitter).
Director General of the Tax Administration Saku Airosmaa tells Iltalehti that it is a denial of service attack.
– It clearly seems that it is a denial of service attack, Airosmaa says.
However, according to the CEO, it seems that the services will be restored soon.
– Actions have been taken and we are limiting traffic coming (to websites) from abroad, Airosmaa explains.
The last time the online services of the tax authority were attacked in early October.
