## Summary

Belgium’s finance and tax agency has taken several online services offline following a cyberattack, while it investigates and works to restore them safely. The disruption affects tax filing, so the agency has extended a deadline for some taxpayers.

MyMinfin, Tax-on-web and Biztax were taken offline after potentially infected systems were isolated. The deadline for certain filings, including income from sole traders and foreign companies, has moved from 31 October to 16 November; officials say other applications remain partly or fully available, and there is currently no indication that data was accessed or compromised.
