Fota Wildlife Park has been hit by a cyberattack.
Customers who recently bought tickets online have been told their financial information may be at risk, and are being urged to cancel their bank cards.
Its website reportedly went offline last night, but the park in East Cork will open today, with tickets available at kiosks only.
