Almost two weeks after the cyber attack on the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district, the district administration's emergency infrastructure should be ready for use during the course of Monday.

“This means that the individual departments are then able to work electronically again.

This also includes communication by email, ”said a spokesman on Sunday.

The preparatory work was completed over the weekend.

In a next step, individual specialist applications such as vehicle registration and parental allowance should work again.

Several servers in the district were infected with so-called ransomware in a cyber attack on July 6, in which data is encrypted.

After a cash payment, the data should be released again.

The district of Anhalt-Bitterfeld had refused a ransom payment.

He declared a disaster on July 9th.

Since then, experts have been working on getting the district back to work.

State and federal authorities are involved.

At the same time, an investigation is running to find the perpetrators.
