Belgium suffered a major
cyberattack on Tuesday, Belgian media reported, affecting many of its key institutions. It’s origin is still unknown.
Belnet’s internet network, which connects public institutions, higher education and university establishments, research centres and public administrations, has been the target of a large-scale denial-of-service (DDoS) attack since 12pm on Tuesday, spokeswoman Davina Luyten said. A DDoS attack is when a third party overloads servers by sending them a large amount of data.
Although DDoS attacks happen regularly, this one was of a scale which reportedly completely exceeded the capacity of the Belnet network.
About 200 organisations were reportedly affected, with a number of parliamentary committees canceled because of the attack. The parliament of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation was also forced to suspend its committee work.
