Technical issue, not cyber attack, behind Hellenic Revenue Service, National Security Service, and National Police websites downtime

The loss of access was detected on Thursday afternoon - The problem was soon restored

Newsroom November 15 07:00

A technical network problem rather than a cyberattack was ultimately responsible for the simultaneous loss of access observed on the afternoon of Thursday, November 14, to websites of ADC and other government agencies.

As competent sources told prototheme.gr, after an investigation, it was found that the temporary interruption of access to websites of the State, such as ADE, was due to the downtime of a DNS server of OTTE which, consequently, caused a malfunction of the SYZEXIS network.

The problem was soon rectified, with no further impact on the smooth operation of systems. As the same sources said, it was not a cyber attack and no data was leaked, but neither did the “universe collapse” as reported in the House.
