The municipalities' IT community, Kombit, closed the communication platform Aula on Wednesday afternoon due to a potential security risk.

This is according to Kombit's press chief, Lars Skov Granerud, in a statement to Ritzau.

Earlier in the afternoon, several municipal IT systems were fully or partially shut down, including the library system and solutions used by municipal employees for, among other things, the disbursement of benefits.

- We were notified of a potential technical security risk in an underlying element of several of our solutions, Lars Skov Granerud told Ritzau earlier today.

According to Kombit, all other systems should now be fully operational, but disruptions may still occur.

The press chief emphasizes that the problem has not yet been resolved and that Kombit still lacks a full overview of the situation.

It is still unknown what triggered the security risk and how long Aula will remain closed.

Aula is used for communication between staff, parents, and students at the country's primary schools and daycare facilities.
