The city of Antwerp, Belgium, is working to restore its digital services that were disrupted last night by a cyberattack on its digital provider.
The disruption has affected services used by citizens, schools, daycare centers, and the police, which have been working intermittently today.
According to Het Laatste Nieuws, the hackers were able to disrupt Antwerp's services after breaching the servers of Digipolis, the city's digital partner that provides administrative software.
Alexandra d'Archambeau, a councilor member for the district of Wilrijk, said earlier today that the city's email service was down.
Among other the services affected by the attack are those from the Antwerp Healthcare Company, which provides residential care services to seniors in the province.
Although the police and the fire department have also been impacted, emergency services continue to be available.
