Post Office HACK - Internet NOT WORKING, How to get back online after cyberattack
POST OFFICE broadband customers have been targeted by a new cyberattack, which has seen more than 100,000 customers cut-off from the internet. Here's how to get your router back online.
Post Office broadband customers have been hit by a cyberattack.
The issues started on Sunday and have affected around 100,000 customers in the UK, a spokesperson for the company told the BBC.
It is not known who is responsible for the attack.
The cybercriminals have used a modified form of the Mirai worm – a type of malware that spreads via hijacked machines and causes damage to equipment powered by the Linux operating system.
Mirai was used in an attack earlier this year that triggered outages in a number of the world's most popular websites, including Spotify, Twitter and Reddit.
