Risk to Business: 2.096 = Severe
Anonymous and its associates continue a cyberattack offensive against Russian businesses and agencies in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This time, Anonymous affiliate Network Battalion (NB65) group claims that it has hacked and deployed ransomware against the Russian payment processing platform Qiwi. NB65 says that it managed to extract 10.5TB of data from Qiwi, including 30 million payment records and the data from 12.5 million credit cards of Qiwi customers. The group has posted a host of examples of the stolen data as proof of the hack, threatening to release 1 million cards worth of data daily. Qiwi denies the event.
