The Slovak online space faced massive distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks by hackers from all over the world in recent days.
The hackers had also attacked the Slovak Hydro-meteorological Institute (SHMÚ) website.
These attacks had so far appeared only at a low intensity and very sporadically in the systems operated by NASES.
The attacks were conducted mainly in France, China, and the United Kingdom.
NASES employees responded to the attack with various measures, including through the interim blocking of access to the Slovensko.sk website for users abroad.
Other steps included blocking the attacking IP addresses as well as geo-location, i.e. blocking entire countries or continents.
