"The plan is to be able to start the systems again as soon as possible.

However, the complexity of the systems means that the work to open the systems takes time," writes Sweden's unemployment insurance funds in a press release, where it also appears that some progress has been made in its analysis of the incident.

The payment that was scheduled for Thursday is postponed.

At the moment, it is unclear when it can be removed, but according to Sweden's unemployment insurance funds, it should happen "as soon as possible".

The shutdown of the system also means that some social security agencies cannot be reached, either by phone or on the web.
