Profile

Progresívne Slovensko is a political party based in Slovakia. The party seeks to represent citizens by developing and promoting policy platforms. It contests national parliamentary elections with the goal of securing legislative seats. As part of its electoral activities, the party maintains a website that publishes campaign materials. The website also hosts donation portals for supporters to contribute financially. Candidate information and biographies are made available through the same online channel. These digital tools are intended to facilitate voter engagement and transparency.

Progresívne Slovensko is described as a leading political party in Slovakia's parliamentary elections. Its headquarters are located in Slovakia, anchoring its operational base within the country. In September 2023, the party's website was subjected to a large‑scale distributed denial‑of‑service attack. The attack generated approximately seventy‑eight million simultaneous requests, overwhelming the server. Party chairman Michal Šimečka confirmed the disruption several days before the scheduled elections. The resulting inaccessibility prevented the public from accessing campaign materials, donation portals, and candidate information. Although mitigation efforts were underway, the website remained non‑functional the following morning. The incident fits within a broader pattern of cyberattacks targeting Slovak entities, though no specific attribution was established for this event.
