Albania’s online public services and websites went offline after a massive cyberattack over the weekend.

The government was forced to shut down the websites of the prime minister’s office and parliament in order to deal with the attack, according to a statement from the Albanian National Agency for the Information Society.

The country shut down the government portal e-Albania, which is used to access a range of public services, The Register reported. There are also reports that the ministry of foreign affairs and the ministry of education were affected, with the latter pausing the online registration of school children, according to Euractiv. A government statement claimed information systems are backed up and secure, while personal data should not have been impacted as the cyberattack did not breach systems.
