The Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation, and Digital Policy confirmed that the identity of the attackers and their motives remain undisclosed.

The attack was identified as a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, which temporarily affected the main government portal, gov.cy, but did not result in any data breaches.

Authorities executed a quick and coordinated response, effectively preventing the attack from causing significant disruption.

In light of ongoing cyber threats, the ministry reassured the public that government services are on high alert.

Officials confirmed that no client information was leaked or compromised during any of the attacks, ensuring the safety of government services.

The threat has been attributed to the hacking group LulzSec Black, believed to be politically motivated and linked to Cyprus's relationship with Israel.

This incident followed a series of cyberattacks over the previous days, targeting state-run utilities and the Cypriot subsidiary of a Greek energy company.

Cybersecurity firm Odyssey had previously warned of potential attacks on critical infrastructure in Cyprus, raising concerns about the security of government and financial services.

On Sunday, Cyprus successfully thwarted a digital attack aimed at blocking access to its central online government portal.

This incident marks the sixth cyberattack targeting Cyprus in just three days, indicating a troubling trend.

All involved services remain on alert and have coordinated their responses to mitigate future threats.

Prior to this attack, Cyprus' electricity and telecommunications authorities, as well as airport operators, faced similar unsuccessful attacks.
