Russian govt bank suffers from one of its largest cyberattack
By MYBRANDBOOK
Russia’s bank VTB was hit by the largest cyberattack in its history, with assuring customers that the data is safe but they can face temporary difficulties in accessing its mobile app and website.
VTB said in a statement, “The bank’s technological infrastructure is under an unprecedented cyberattack from abroad. The largest not only this year, but in the whole time the bank has operated.”
The bank said it was repulsing the distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, in which hackers attempt to flood a network with unusually high volumes of data traffic in order to disable it. VTB said the majority of attacks had come from abroad, but that it was particularly concerned by traffic from Russian IP addresses.
Russian government entities and state-owned companies have been targeted amid Russia-Ukraine war, with the websites of the Kremlin, flagship carrier Aeroflot and major lender Sberbank among those that have seen outages or temporary access issues.
Meanwhile, Pro-Russian hackers have been blamed for attacks on websites and infrastructure in the likes of Lithuania, Norway and the United States this year. VTB had said it would hand over all identified Russian IP addresses to law enforcement.
