In an unprecedented disruption, the communication network of courts and public prosecutors in Germany completely failed on Thursday from 3 PM. This crisis, caused by a configuration change, disrupted phone and email communications for 9 hours and created serious problems for users and judicial staff.

Due to this disruption, many legal cases and urgent requests were affected, which could have serious consequences for those accessing the judiciary system. Ultimately, at 3:03 AM on Friday, the issue was resolved and communications returned to normal.
This incident once again highlights the vulnerability of technological infrastructures in public institutions and raises the need for greater attention to the security and stability of communication systems.
