Internal security systems on the GWDG systems discovered a security incident.
The GWDG is conducting a thorough investigation into this occurrence with the assistance of law enforcement and outside security professionals.
Although no evidence of data loss has been found thus far, it cannot be ruled out.
Although there was no evidence of a service disruption, management and the creation of new user accounts were restricted for security concerns.
An assault on the infrastructure could be detected early and its effects reduced with the aid of internal information security management and the related monitoring.
Some services that have been disabled as a precaution will be made available as quickly as feasible, according to the company.
