In a note published on the Skylink CZ’s Facebook page, the operator said: “We apologise, currently we have reported a system outage (web, customer zone) due to a hacker attack. We are working intensively on the repair. We thank you for your understanding”.

Broadband TV News notes that Skylink CZ posted the message on Tuesday (March 21) afternoon and the following morning its site was still down.

However, Skylink SK, its Slovak site, could be opened on Wednesday (March 22) morning.

Skylink offers DTH and internet TV services in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
