BaFin

A distributed denial of service DDoS attack has restricted access to the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority's BaFin website.

After the attack started, BaFin promptly proceeded to take the necessary security safeguards and defense measures, which were successful.

The website is momentarily inaccessible as a result of these steps. The operation of all other BaFin systems is unrestricted.

Even while the DDoS attack continues, BaFin is working hard to get its website fully operational again.
