The foreign ministry was hardest hit by the information systems failure and likely will face severe computer restrictions Monday. The finance and interior ministries will fare better and be back at work when the week starts, Karolina Kohout, a spokeswoman for the Federal Office of Information Technology told the Swiss News Agency Sunday. Speculation is rife in the Swiss media that the problems were brought on by a hacker. The errors were first noticed Friday. The government has not commented on those reports. ________________________________________ Did a friend send you this? From now on, be the first to find out!
