Cyprus: Websites Targeted by Cyberattacks - Response from the Communications Commissioner

Several websites in Cyprus have been targeted by cyberattacks in recent days, mainly Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, where pages are overloaded with artificially increased traffic. The Communications Commissioner, Giorgos Michailidis, appeared reassuring, emphasizing that these attacks are the most common and relatively harmless. The Digital Security Authority (DSA) monitors the phenomenon 24/7 and provides information and technical assistance, while website owners are urged to take protective measures, such as purchasing specialized services to counter such attacks. There is no indication of a specific target or motive behind the attacks.
