HT Still Down, Even the Stock Exchange is Out

By 22 September 2015

Some ATMs and POS terminals are also down

As we reported earlier this morning, Croatia's largest phone operator Hrvatski Telekom (Croatian Telecom) has been experiencing major difficulties so users across the country are having trouble with their fixed and mobile lines as well as Internet connections. But that's not where the problem ends.

Because of this technical problem, many ATMs are also not in service, the Zagreb Stock Exchange has postoponed its trading and many stores are not excepting cards of any kind because their POS systems are not working. Even though HT stated that the problem will be fixed by 10:30, an hour ago they posted a message on their Facebook wall stating that they're doing everything they can to normalize the situation.

In the meantime, @KuNaNetw0rk claims on Twitter that hackers are responsible for this "meltdown" or a DDoS attack to be more exact and he's stating that BNet and Vipnet will be next.
