The cyber-attack had an external impact and lasted about one and a half hours. After an initial investigation, it was found that the cyber-attack was temporary and users' data was not affected in any way, the cyber-security authority "Cert.lv" confirmed.
Smart-ID is now back up and running, but the investigation is still ongoing.
