Luxembourg City

Profile narrative

The City of Luxembourg, also known as Luxembourg City, is the municipal administration headquartered in Luxembourg. It provides a range of public services to residents and businesses, including administrative functions and community support. The organisation maintains an official website that enables online access to various municipal services and information. This digital presence allows citizens to interact with the administration remotely for tasks such as permit applications and service requests. The city’s headquarters in Luxembourg situates it at the centre of the country’s governmental and financial activities.

The city’s digital infrastructure has been targeted by multiple distributed denial‑of‑service attacks, notably in January 2025 when government websites including MyGuichet and LuxTrust were rendered inaccessible for about two hours. The State Information Technology Centre confirmed the incident and noted it as part of a recurring pattern of cyber threats facing Luxembourg’s digital assets. Earlier in March 2024, pro‑Russian hacker groups such as NoName057(16) launched DDoS campaigns against governmental and municipal sites, citing opposition to Luxembourg’s support for Ukrainian‑related initiatives, although the government denied geopolitical motivations. In June 2023, the City of Luxembourg’s own website was hit by a cyberattack that forced a temporary deactivation and disrupted public access to online services. Following each incident, the city’s departments worked to restore functionality and collaborated with national security and technical agencies to mitigate ongoing threats.
