OneLog Faces Cyberattack, Affecting access to Numerous Swiss Media
Significant Disruption of OneLog Services
In a surprising turn of events, OneLog has been hit by a severe cyberattack, rendering it impossible for users to connect via the platform since Thursday. This disruption affects numerous media companies in Switzerland, impacting the accessibility of their content.
Immediate Measures and Responses

Other media companies are also taking similar actions to ensure that subscribers can access their content during this crisis.
Technical Challenges Caused by the Attack

- Launched just over three years ago, OneLog reportedly serves more than 40 online portals, including major media entities like Tamedia, Ringier, and SSR.
Wider Context of Cybersecurity Threats in Swiss Media
This incident is not isolated; cyberattacks have increasingly targeted Swiss media companies, with ongoing threats noted. The current cyberattack type targeting OneLog remains undetermined, although concerns about potential data breaches or ransom attempts loom large.
Previous Attacks and Implications
- Last year, several Swiss media companies, including NZZ and CH Media, faced similar threats.
