Serious cyber-attack on Austria's foreign ministry
Austria's foreign ministry has been targeted by a cyber-attack that is suspected to have been conducted by another country.
The ministry said the seriousness of the attack suggested it might have been carried out by a "state actor".
The hack started on Saturday night and experts warn it could continue for several days.
The breach occurred on the same day Austria's Green party backed forming a coalition with conservatives .
It was recognised very quickly and countermeasures taken immediately, the foreign ministry said in a statement.
"Despite all intensive security measures, there is never 100% protection against cyber-attacks," the ministry said.
