German banking regulator BaFin said its website has only been partially accessible since Friday after a so-called distributed denial of service attack.
BaFin took security and defensive measures after the attack which also restrict access to the website, according to a spokeswoman. All of BaFin’s other systems are working without disruption, she said.
