The Greek government said Friday that the official state websites of the prime minister, the national police and fire service and several important ministries were briefly disabled by a cyberattack but have been restored.

Government spokesman Stelios Petsas said early Friday that the distributed denial-of-service or DDoS attack “led to the malfunction of certain websites.” He said “countermeasures” had been successfully implemented, but gave no further details.
Along with the prime minister’s website, targets in the attack late Thursday included the websites of the ministries of public order, interior, foreign affairs, and merchant marine, as well as the Greek Police and Fire Service.

It was the second cyberattack against government websites in less than a week. Responsibility for the first attack was claimed in an online post by a group of hackers who purported to be from Turkey.

Greece’s national intelligence service (EYP) has recruited 80 hackers following a resurgence of cyber attacks by Turkish actors, the Greek City Times reported on Sunday.
The recruitment was aimed at strengthening Greek cyber security staff in the wake of new targeted attacks by a group of Turkish hackers called the Ayyıldız Tim, the Greek City Times said.

Earlier this year, another Turkish group calling themselves the Anka Soldiers targeted websites of Greek institutions, including parliament, the Foreign Ministry, the Finance Ministry, the intelligence services and stock exchange after the country’s stance against Turkey’s interests in Libya hardened.
Late May saw another targeted attack where hackers replaced the contents of the Greek interior ministry’s website [...]

Ayyıldız Tim assumed responsibility for another attack last week, when they took down the website of a town in Greece’s Thessaloniki province, the newspaper reported.
