The publishing house is offering a reward for information leading to the capture of the perpetrators. Heise Zeitschriften Verlag is offering a 10,000 Euro reward for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons responsible for the attacks. The attacks temporarily shut down Heise Onlines web offering.
