Bankdata, which provides IT solutions for Denmark’s central bank and the country’s financial industry, was hit by a DDoS attack, disrupting access to the central bank’s and seven private banks’ websites. A DDoS attack works by directing traffic to a targeted website in order to take it offline. A spokesman for Denmark’s central bank said its website was running normally on Tuesday afternoon and that the attack did not affect the bank’s other systems or day-to-day operations. Access to the websites of seven private banks was briefly limited on Tuesday after a DDoS attack, a Bankdata spokesman said. Affected banks include Denmark’s two largest banks – Jyske Bank and Sydbank.
