NB65, a hacking group that’s targeting various Russian organizations recently, has just announced QIWI as its latest victim.
QIWI is a Russian payments company that’s widely used in the CIS countries. NB65 claimed to have encrypted their SQL databases and Tele2Pay boxes and shut down their Hyper-V clusters. Also, they claim to have stolen the credit card details of millions of QIWI’s clients.
Hacking Russia’s Largest Payment
Ever since the war between Ukraine and Russia broke out, many started extending a hand to Ukraine in this struggle. This includes voluntary hackers who’re targeting Russian organizations and government entities.
NB65 is one among them, which hit a document management operator Tensor, Russian space agency Roscosmos, and VGTRK, the state-owned Russian Television and Radio broadcaster. And now, it announced QIWI as its latest victim.
Hi Qiwi (they have a twitter account lol lets see how long it takes). We rolled up and smoked ~10.5TB of backups. Your company has been dealt with by Network Battalion 65. We recommend you contact us if you want to survive this… You guys are super fucked. #SlavaUkraini #FCKPTN pic.twitter.com/OWI6r8hn1P — NB65 (@xxNB65) May 1, 2022
