Anyone who tried to access the Cash website since Saturday morning likely encountered problems. The reason for this is that Cash. fell victim to a hacker attack. In recent months, other media outlets like “Rheinische Post” and “Handelsblatt” have also been victims of similar or related attacks.
Hackers targeted the servers of the Cash. Media Group with a so-called DDoS attack, which effectively paralyzed the website. Fortunately, no additional damage occurred, and the attackers never gained access to customer and user data.
At this time, it’s not possible to determine the party responsible for the cyberattack. What is clear, however, is that it was a highly targeted attack on the Cash. Media Group.
Since the website became inaccessible on Saturday morning, the Cash IT team has been working tirelessly to fend off the attack, although initially, they could only do so briefly. As of Tuesday, the website is once again fully accessible. We hope that this situation remains permanent, and we will take further steps to fortify our IT infrastructure against such attacks in the future.
Due to the cyberattack, there was no Cash 5vor5 newsletter on Monday. We apologize to our readers for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Current Update: The attacks are ongoing and may continue to cause disruptions on the website.
