Pro-Russia hackers claim responsibility for ‘intense, ongoing’ cyberattack against Lithuanian websites

CNN  

CNN — An “intense, ongoing” cyberattack has hit the websites of government agencies and private firms in Lithuania, the Baltic country’s defense ministry said Monday. Monday’s cyberattacks were aimed in part at Lithuania’s Secure Data Transfer Network, a communications network for government officials that is built to withstand war and other crises, according to the defense ministry. “Part of the Secure National Data Transfer Network users have been unable to access services, work is in progress to restore it to normal,” Lithuania’s National Cyber Security Centre said in a statement issued by the defense ministry. “It is highly probable that such, or even more, intense attacks will continue into the coming days, especially against the communications, energy and financial sectors,” acting NKSC Director Jonas Skardinskas said in a statement.
