Cyber attack paralyzes the Bermuda islands: government working to restore operations
Extensive checks are underway to determine the origin of the sophisticated cyber attack in the government
Bermuda suffered a major cyber attack last week, but there is no evidence of data theft. The government is restoring operations and building a more secure network. Difficulties have been encountered, but everything is expected to return to normal soon.
The government of Bermuda suffered a serious cyber attack last week, described by the prime minister as "very sophisticated". After a week of disruptions, the government is slowly restoring its operations. Extensive forensic checks are currently underway to determine how the attack occurred, but so far experts have found no evidence of theft of sensitive data. It is still unknown whether it was a ransomware attack.
The restoration of government operations is underway
Prime Minister David Burt said some email functionality had been restored, but a problem was found with the government's payment system. All systems have been temporarily deactivated as a precautionary measure. The government, in collaboration with international experts, is building a new network that is expected to be more secure and robust. The government switchboard is expected to be fully operational again by Monday.
A difficult incident was detected while repairing the systems
The government is facing numerous challenges in restoring operations affected by the attack. The Prime Minister admitted that the situation had been challenging. In an effort to ensure data security, it was decided to deactivate the entire system. The ongoing forensic audit will provide further information on the scope of the attack and the possible compromise of sensitive data.
Planning a new, more robust and secure network
Following the cyber attack, the Bermuda government decided to build a new network with the help of international experts. The goal is to create a more secure and attack-resistant infrastructure. This new network will allow the government to fully re-establish operations and ensure greater protection of sensitive data.
