The website of the province of Noord-Brabant and those of the municipalities of Tilburg and Breda were hit by DDOS attacks on Monday morning. That writes the Algemeen Dagblad. The website of the province still does not work around eleven o’clock.
The first attack was according to AD Around half past eight and had consequences for residents of the cities of Tilburg and Breda. The website of the province is still out around eleven.
At DDOS attacks, systems are bombarded with so much traffic that they collapse under the pressure and become unreachable. No data is stolen with a DDOS attack.
Pro-Russian collective
Lodi Hensen from cyber security company Eye Security tells the newspaper that a pro-Russian collective is probably behind the attacks. He thinks this collectively comes into action because countries such as the Netherlands and Belgium have promised financial support to Ukraine.
