Swedbank's website hit by a cyber attack
Swedbank has been hit by a hacker attack again, following a breach back in October; customers could not make online transactions or contact the bank through the internet, although mobile applications and payments continued to work, said a spokesman. The bank's website in the Baltic countries was not affected.

Scandi finance house Swedbank has been hit by a DDoS attack, which has taken down access to online banking via its website.

Customers can access their online accounts through a specific URL but are unable to transact with the bank through its website.

Mobile applications and payments continue to function, Swedbank spokesman Claes Warren said.

The website was also hit by a hacker attack in October. Warren said it probably wouldn't be the last such attack.

The bank said it expects the site to be "up and running soon". ®
