Middlesbrough Council targeted for second cyber attack in a week

A municipality has been the target of a cyber attack for the second time in a week.

Middlesbrough Council’s website was hit by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack last Wednesday and was attacked again on Sunday morning.

The website was functioning normally again this morning and the council said no services had been provided and no council or personal data had been compromised.

It added that it was working with the National Cyber ​​Security Center to ensure its data remained protected from future attacks.
