Austrian daily Kronen Zeitung reported speculations about the possible involvement of the Turkish "Lion Soldiers" ("Aslan Neferler") hacking group in taking down the website of the Austrian Foreign Ministry for a short time March 6. The homepage was offline for a few minutes. Authorities responded quickly also to the threat scenario involving Austrian Airlines flights from the United States to Austria.
According to Kronen Zeitung they received an "unspecified threat" for March 4.
After lengthy security checks, the aircraft from Miami and New York could take off only with considerable delays.
The Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Austria's Domestic Intelligence Agency, is investigating in all direction.
The Turkish "Lion Soldiers" hacking group is strongly suspected of being involved.
