Es: A synchronized cyber attack affects the INE and ministries such as Justice, Economy or Education

A cyber attack has hit the websites of the National Statistics Institute (INE) and different ministries such as those of Education and Culture, Justice or the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation.
