The voting system used by the Eurovision Song Contest was briefly forced offline after a suspected cyberattack caused an “extreme” surge in activity, reports Acumin.
During the final of the pre-qualification rounds which took place on Saturday, the Eurovision team noticed a a suspiciously heavy load on its voting servers putting the reliability of the system into question. The voting app was taken out of service as a result, with viewers informed by the hosts that earlier votes made using the service would be erased.
