ANONYMOUS HACKERS CLAIM TO HAVE BREACHED RUSSIAN PAYMENT SERVICE PROVIDER QIWI –
BITCOIN NEWS




Anonymous Hackers Claim to Have Breached Russian Payment Service Provider Qiwi –
Bitcoin News



A hacking group linked to the Anonymous collective has allegedly hit the popular
Russian payment processor Qiwi. Network Battalion 65 announced on social media
it had managed to gain access to the platform’s databases — a claim the company
has denied.


ANONYMOUS AFFILIATE HACKS RUSSIAN PAYMENT SYSTEM QIWI

Hackers from Network Battalion 65 (NB65), a group linked to the decentralized
hacktivist collective Anonymous, revealed in a recent tweet they had hacked
Qiwi, which is a major provider of payment and financial services in the Russian
Federation and other countries in the post-Soviet space.

A message posted by the @xxNB65 Twitter account notes that the group, which
includes the Qiwi payment system, Qiwi Bank, the Contact money transfer system,
and other platforms, also offers the most widely used payment app in Russia —
that being the main reason why it was targeted.

The alleged perpetrators of the attack say they have encrypted Qiwi’s networks
with a ransomware kit. NB65 also claims it has the credit card data of around
12.5 million of the company’s clients, as well as about 30 million payment
records.

“We will release 1 million records each day after your 3 day contract period has
expired. You should probably reach out to us soon if you want your business to
survive,” the hackers have warned, adding that if there’s someone to blame for
the situation, that’s Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Moscow launched a military assault on neighboring Ukraine in late February and
Anonymous vowed to disrupt Russia’s internet space in response to the invasion.
The group has since targeted the websites of the Kremlin, the State Duma, and
the Defense Ministry, attacked Russian TV channels, and released millions of
emails. In March, the collective said it had published 28GB of Bank of Russia
documents.

The authors of the NB65 tweet remark that Qiwi said in a recent press release
the sanctions aimed at Russia’s financial system had not affected its business.
Following the news of the Anonymous attack, Qiwi was quoted by Tass as stating
that its payment services are operating normally and insisting its customers’
personal information was safe.
