Description
The Jägerschaft Uecker-Randow’s website js-uecker-randow.de was compromised approximately two weeks before the chairman’s statement, leaving the organization without access to its online presence. Niels Saeger, the chairman of the Jägerschaft, disclosed the incident during a meeting held over the weekend in Torgelow, noting that the website had been hacked. He indicated that a Trojan, a type of disguised malware, was suspected as the cause of the breach. An IT specialist was engaged to attempt to restore access to the compromised site.
The specialist’s efforts focus on regaining control of js-uecker-randow.de; if those attempts fail, the Jägerschaft would need to create a new website from scratch. As a result of the outage, members are unable to retrieve information concerning hunter training, the hunters’ service, the boar trophy competition, or the organization’s newsletters. Saeger expressed hope that the website would be made available again quickly so that normal communications could resume.
Regarding potential perpetrators, Saeger stated that he could not identify who might have an interest in hacking the Jägerschaft’s homepage. He explicitly ruled out the possibility of a Russian hacker attack based on his assessment. The incident has disrupted the group’s ability to disseminate internal updates and resources to its members.
