Skylink

Skylink is a satellite and internet television provider. The company’s headquarters are located in Czechia. It delivers television channels and on‑demand video content to customers. Its services are available through both satellite transmission and broadband‑based streaming.

Skylink serves customers in both the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The provider’s market footprint covers the two neighboring countries. Its offerings are aimed at households seeking satellite or internet‑based TV solutions.

On 21 March 2023, Skylink experienced a distributed denial‑of‑service attack attributed to a Russian hacking group. The attack disrupted the company’s customer‑facing web services and applications in both countries. Television broadcasts remained uninterrupted during the incident. Slovak‑region services were restored within one day, while Czech‑region operations required a longer recovery period.

After service was restored, Skylink implemented additional protective measures to reduce the risk of similar disruptions. The operator focused on strengthening its network defenses and monitoring capabilities. No evidence of data breach or compromise of customer information was reported in connection with the attack. The incident highlighted the importance of separating web‑facing platforms from core broadcast infrastructure.

Skylink continues to provide satellite and internet television services to its subscriber base. The company maintains its headquarters in Czechia while operating across the Czech and Slovak markets. It remains engaged in delivering television content through both satellite and broadband channels.
