Erfurt (dpa / th) - The Thuringian Internet school portal was again massively attacked on Monday.

The operator announced that the portal was exposed to a so-called DDoS attack.

Attempts are made to slow down computer systems or even to crash them with an extremely high number of requests.

The students could therefore not dial into the Thuringian school cloud on the first day of school after the winter holidays.

It had already been attacked three weeks ago.

"If you come back from the holidays and you still can't use the school cloud, that's deeply frustrating for students, parents and teachers," said the chairman of the CDU parliamentary group, Mario Voigt.

He called the recent problems of the Thuringian school cloud an "oath of disclosure" from Education Minister Helmut Holter (left).

The cloud still lacks resilience, reliability and user-friendliness, stated the education policy spokesman for the CDU parliamentary group, Christian Tischner.

"It does not meet the requirements of modern and digital teaching."

"We can no longer accept the persistent problems with the cloud," said Franziska Baum, education policy spokeswoman for the FDP parliamentary group in the state parliament.

It is more than overdue "that the Minister of Education pulls out all the stops to finally enable students and teachers to have reliable distance teaching".

Alternatives to the current school cloud would also have to be examined.
