According to media reports, approximately 90 employees opened an infected e-mail attachment, and hackers used a Trojan Horse virus to enter the police information system. The police said they managed to contain the cyber incident and no critical systems were affected. All services and work processes in the police force are reportedly running as normal.

The Ministry of Defence meanwhile reportedly successfully intercepted the attack in time. Consequently, the security of their system was not breached.
