This week, a cyberattack against Deutsche Bahn, the state-owned railway business in Germany, caused a brief disruption to ticketing systems and timetable information services, according to a statement released by the company on Wednesday.
The distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack that occurred on Tuesday afternoon created issues with the website of the railway as well as the DB Navigator app, which is widely utilised by the railway.
The majority of the problems with the website and the app had been fixed by Tuesday evening, but they showed up once more on Wednesday morning. As Germany’s most prominent rail service, Deutsche Bahn operates passenger and cargo trains, as well as suburban commuter railways in several cities.
Our defensive measures were effective in minimising the impact on our customers,” Deutsche Bahn said in a statement. According to a spokeswoman for the German Ministry of the Interior, the corporation has been in communication with the cybersecurity authorities of the German Federal Security Service (BSI). She also stated that she was unable to provide any other information regarding the attack.
