The "NoName" group claimed responsibility for the attack.

The attack was a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, which floods websites with malicious traffic to make them unavailable.

The National Cyber Security Centre and the affected administrative units are working to determine the appropriate measures and to restore the accessibility of the websites and applications as quickly as possible.

The government emphasized that no data was lost in a DDoS attack and that the affected authorities' specialists had quickly noticed the attack.
