A Swiss district court in a German-speaking district, serving around 45,000 people, announced it suffered a cyberattack. The specific details of the incident remain undisclosed, but indications suggest it might have been a ransomware attack, prompting the shutdown of the entire IT system to safeguard data.
As a result, the court's IT systems and telephone lines are currently non-operational, with an uncertain timeline for restoration, although court hearings are continuing as scheduled.
Earlier in the year, the Swiss government alerted citizens about potential data access by ransomware actors after an attack on an IT firm.
No details are disclosed about the ransom gang, the vector of attack or any compromised data.
