Pro-Russian hacking outfits Killnet, REevil and Anonymous Sudan have allegedly formed an alliance to launch a concerted cyberattack on the Western financial system, particularly targeting the SWIFT wire transfer system, according to CyberKnow.
Forged in the underground hacking forums, the groups stated their “no money – no weapons – no Kiev regime” formula to cut off the pipeline of Western aid to Ukraine.
Their primary target is the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) system, which powers most international money and security transfers, failure of which could potentially cripple the Western financial system.
Other targets in their crosshairs include European and US banks and the US Federal Reserve System.
Spearheaded by REvil, one of the most notorious cybercrime syndicates in the world, and supported by Killnet, its close successor, their threats should not be taken lightly.
REvil was responsible for the Medibank data breach last year, where sensitive health records of nearly 10 million Australians were compromised in a cyberattack that shook the nation.
Sort of like the scene in the first 'Iron Man' where he pulls the thug terrorizing a village into the street and tells the villagers: "he's all yours".
Microsoft Azure has been under attack all week long too.
Should be: do to the WEF connected what they fear most---exposure
“...particularly targeting the SWIFT wire transfer system...”
Well that’s not fair! How will all of the illegal invaders on American Soil send American Taxpayer Dollars back to their Hellhole Homelands?
*SMIRK*
sounds like Russia is getting desperate
guess Vlady’s “simple little 3-day conquest” isn’t working out as planned
which horse got stung by the whip?
obviously, the one that cries out
which sanctions are hurting Russia the most?
obviously, the ones Russia tries to attack - like SWIFT
(in other words, Russia is admitting - through their actions - that the sanctions are effective, thanks for blinking Vlady LOL!!)
“Spearheaded by REvil, one of the most notorious cybercrime syndicates in the world, and supported by Killnet, its close successor, their threats should not be taken lightly.”
Believe it.
About damned time.
I expect an attack on the air traffic control infrastructure. Remember the last couple shut downs due to software problems?
From February 2021 (Bloomberg):
Fed Outage Raises Questions on Wall Street as Services Restored
For about four hours Wednesday, Federal Reserve systems that execute millions of financial transactions a day -- everything from payroll to tax refunds to interbank transfers -- were disrupted by what appeared to be some sort of internal glitch.
OK, I’m not up on cyber culture so much. But it seems strange to me that they would announce an attack and the target of that attack in advance. Why announce everything?
Oh, they announced it, did they?
This smells like bee ess.
Possibly because they want “authorities” (ie, the banking cabal), to know who is responsible, if/when they pull it off as predicted. To claim afterwards would have muddied the responsibility.
If it does not happen, then.... the usual Emily Latella routine.
NSA can “deep fake” any hack and “assign” it to whoever they want.
