Description
The municipality of Hoppegarten reported that the aftermath of a cyber attack was still being processed as of 22 September 2025. The administration continued efforts to restore IT services to full availability. Telephone and email access to the core administration had been restored. Communication with subordinate facilities such as schools and kindergartens remained disrupted. Starting on Monday, 22 September 2025, the residents' registration office announced that its citizen services would be available again. The administration expected all services in that area to be functioning normally. It asked citizens to excuse any possible short‑term disturbances in daily operations and thanked them for their understanding.
The release of the communication channel via the state administrative network to other state authorities could only resume after approval from the central IT service provider of Brandenburg. The evaluation by that public authority was still pending at the time of the statement. Investigations into the attack were being conducted continuously by the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) of Brandenburg. A regular exchange of information between the municipality and the LKA was ensured. Protecting data remained the highest priority in the ongoing response. The municipality concluded by reiterating its request for public patience while it worked to fully normalize operations.
