ATHENS (Reuters) - The website
of the Central Bank of Cyprus briefly came under cyber attack, days
after a hacking collective said it conducted a similar attack on the
Greek central bank's site.
The central bank's website came under "some form of a
denial-of-service" attack, a spokeswoman said on Friday, via email.
She did not say when the attack occurred, but several
on-line news sites covering cyber security said it came on Thursday. The
bank could not be reached to verify the date.
The attack "...
resulted in some delays in user connections, but generally the website
could handle the anticipated number of users for the day," the
spokeswoman said.
Greece's central bank was attacked by the hacking group Anonymous on
Tuesday, which disrupted service on its web site, a Bank of Greece
official said on Wednesday.
It was not immediately clear whether Anonymous was behind
the attack on the Cypriot central bank. But in a video posted on
YouTube, the group said the attack on the Bank of Greece marked the
start of a 30-day campaign against central banks around the world.
