A cyberattack on the Dresden State Art Collections was detected on Wednesday, with the museums remaining open but certain operations put on pause as a result. Among the latter are the museum network’s online shop and visitor services.
As reported by Monopol on Thursday, the Dresden State Art Collections—a network of some 15 museums in the east of Germany—issued a statement reading, “Large parts of the digital infrastructure are affected. IT specialists and IT forensics service providers are working simultaneously to clean up and rebuild the systems.”
