Hackers demand 10 million euros from the town hall of Calvià, Mallorca

On January 10, 2024, Calvia Town Hall was the victim of a cyberattack that put its website out of action. The hackers demanded a ransom of 10 million euros. This incident has affected the deadline for some tax payments, which will be delayed due to the current situation. The council's determination not to give in to the demands and the complaint to the Guardia Civil show its firm resolve to protect the integrity of the city's data.

Measures taken by the City Council to maintain normality

In order to maintain the normality of services, the City Council has asked citizens to carry out the procedures through the General State Administration Registry. In addition, most administrative deadlines have been temporarily suspended until January 31, with the guarantee that they will be resumed from that date. These measures are aimed at mitigating the impact on citizens' daily lives.
