Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government failed to restore full access to its websites as attacks stretched into a second day.

Specialists are still trying to determine why parts of the government’s main website are down, a spokesman said today. Steffen Seibert, Merkel’s chief spokesman, yesterday called the incident a “serious attack” by “multiple external systems.” Other sites attacked yesterday were back online today.
