Several businesses are affected as a result of the attack. For example, schools and preschools that cannot use digital aids in teaching. Staff in home health care have also experienced problems when they could not access patient records. P4 Kalmar also reports that tags to get into buildings and premises such as sports halls do not work either.
It was during Tuesday morning that indications of an IT attack came. Communications manager Nico Werge tells Svt Nyheter that they immediately shut down the municipality’s server system. He also confirms that it is clear that the hacker group Akira is behind the attack. Akira has connections to Russia and, among other things, is said to be involved in the extensive hacker attack against Tietoevry in January.
At the time of writing, the problem is still a fact and of the municipality’s 384 systems, 281 do not work.
