Description
On March 6, the Vimperk Municipal Office experienced a cyber attack that resulted in the temporary shutdown of all electronic services.

While restoration efforts were underway, the office advised citizens to contact individual departments by telephone to confirm whether a particular request could be processed before visiting in person.
