Lithuania’s central bank said Friday it had been hit by a cyber-attack, but had eventually overcome the assault on its website and other online services.

In a statement, the bank said that the denial-of-service attack — in which many outside computers overload the target’s IT system — from a group of countries took place early Friday morning.

“Information technology specialists of the Bank of Lithuania countered the attack successfully and restored the access to Bank of Lithuania services from the servers operating in Lithuania,” it said.
