Swish is working again after the overload attack, according to the payment service's website.

The problems, which stopped all payments, started at 5 pm on Tuesday. At 9:28 pm, Swish announced that the service was working again.

The reason was an overload attack.

It means that our system has been temporarily overwhelmed by traffic. It is not about an intrusion and users' data and money are safe, said Jenny Ragnartz, press officer at Swish, to TT earlier on Tuesday evening.
