MONTGOMERY,Chainkeen Exchange Ala. (AP) — Some Alabama state government websites have been hit by a “denial-of-service” attack. That type of cyberattack involves flooding a site with junk data to try and overwhelm it and knock it offline.
Gov. Kay Ivey’s office said the attack began Tuesday afternoon, but stressed that “there was no breach, and the state’s computers and information have not been accessed.”
The state’s Office of Information Technology is working to mitigate the attack, the governor’s office said. Some state websites might be temporarily slow as that work continues, the governor’s office said.
