German railway booking systems hit by DDoS attack

Feb 18 (Reuters) - ‌The ​booking ​and information systems for Germany's ‌railway operator are back ⁠online for all customers ‌after being disrupted ‌by a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack on ​Tuesday, the railway said on Wednesday.

"Our ⁠countermeasures were effective in minimizing ​the impact on our customers," Deutsche Bahn wrote ​in a ‌blog post, without elaborating on ⁠who might have been responsible.

Deutsche Bahn has ⁠previously been targeted by what ​German authorities suspect were acts of sabotage, including ‌attackers cutting fibre optic cables and ‌forcing rail traffic ⁠to ‌a halt.
