Passengers who had a Rejsekort travel cards were able to use that system whereas others purchased tickets from ticket inspectors onboard trains. \r\n\r\nDSB vice-director Aske Wieth-Knudsen said,<br> \u201cOur technicians and IT contractors have analyzed this closely during the night and have concluded this is an outside attack in which someone has attempted to bring our system down.\u201d\r\n\r\nThis cyber-attack also affected the internal mail and telephone system that was used by the DSB staff which hindered the companies ability to communicate via social media or provide their customers and staff with further information. \r\n\r\nAn issue very similar to this one was previously caused by an electronic failure rather than a cyber-hack.\r\n\r\nWieth-Knudsen told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr.dk\/nyheder\/indland\/dsbs-systemer-lagt-ned-vi-har-ikke-set-den-type-angreb-foer\">DR<\/a> that,<br> \u201cThey type of attack we saw yesterday is a new way of doing things that we [DSB,<br> ed. haven\u2019t seen before. So a little more close analysis is required for us to see what exactly happened so we can prevent a reoccurrence.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe vice director added saying that DSB would remain in contact with the Danish authorities on this issue in the coming days.\r\n\r\nHe told Ritzau,<br> \u201cAt this moment in time I have not yet been in contact with anyone. We are still clarifying some messages,<br> since the attack was only resolved during the night.\r\n\r\nNow the day has started we will naturally contact relevant bodies.\u201d\u00a0\r\n\r\nLet us know your thoughts below.<br \/><center><hr\/><em>Posted from my blog with <a href='https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/steempress\/'>SteemPress<\/a> : https:\/\/latesthackingnews.com\/2018\/05\/15\/danish-rail-network-target-of-cyber-attack\/<\/em><hr\/><\/center>",<br>"json_metadata":" \"community\":\"steempress\",<br>\"app\":\"steempress\/1.2\",<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/latesthackingnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/pexels-photo-716834.jpeg\" ,<br>\"tags\":[\"cybersecurity\",<br>\"cyber-hack\",<br>\"danishrailcyberattack\",<br>\"danishrailoperationhack\",<br>\"dbscyberattack\" " | | comment_options | "author":"twr",
