Romanian hackers, suspected of attacking the Lithuanian financial administration's website

Lithuanian authorities announced that a cyber attack, suspected of being launched from Romania, targeted the state’s financial administration website, which was overwhelmed by requests, Romanian news agency NewsIn informs. Deputy director for taxes Gediminas Vysniauskis declared that no prejudices were registered. However, he declared that most probably these attacks were carefully planned.

In June, several Lithuanian websites were attacked and websites were filled by Soviet symbols after the Parliament forbidden their use.
