DENVER — Colorado state government’s homepage, Colorado.gov, was taken down Wednesday due to a cyberattack by an anonymous agent, according to news release.
A temporary landing page, with links to unaffected government services, was put in its place. Officials had no estimate on when the main page will be available again.
The cyberattack was claimed by an anonymous group that targeted state government services and websites across the country, according to Brandi Simmons, a spokesperson for the Governor’s Office of Information Technology. She did not respond immediately when asked if there were any ransom demands or what other governments might have been affected.
