The Cyber Anarchy Squad \u2014 a Ukrainian hacking group active since last year\u2019s invasion of Ukraine \u2014 took credit for the attack. The group posted to its Telegram channel what appeared to be Infotel network diagrams and a screenshot from inside an Infotel official\u2019s email.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAcidify the soil, fill the ground with concrete,\u201d the group wrote in a message posted to Telegram, according to a Google translation. \u201cAll their infrastructure is destroyed, nothing alive is left there.\u201d <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Administrators of the Cyber Anarchy Squad\u2019s Telegram channel did not immediately return a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The attack may have caused disruptions to the Russian banking system. The Ukrainian news outlet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epravda.com.ua\/news\/2023\/06\/8\/700979\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Economichna Pravda reported<\/a> that as a result of the attack, \u201cthe main banks of Russia and credit organizations throughout the Russian Federation do not have access to banking systems and cannot make payments.\u201d An unconfirmed <a href=\"https:\/\/russia.liveuamap.com\/en\/2023\/8-june-banking-services-partially-not-working-for-customers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">report posted to LiveMap<\/a> \u2014 an online service that tries to geolocate online reports \u2014 suggested that banking services were at least partially inaccessible to customers on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>According to Infotel\u2019s website, the company <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberplace.social\/@GossiTheDog\/110513303055471374\">is an authorized access provider<\/a> to an automated communication system between Russia\u2019s central bank and Russian credit institutions.<\/p>\n<p>CyberScoop could not confirm the extent of the attack\u2019s effects on the Russian banking system, and Infotel did not return a request for comment on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>This week\u2019s counter-offensive, in which Ukrainian armed forces are beginning to use heavy weaponry supplied by Western allies to reclaim territory from Russian forces, has been accompanied by attacks on Russian websites. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pravda.com.ua\/eng\/news\/2023\/06\/8\/7406005\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ukrainska Pravda<\/a>, multiple Russian websites have been hacked and defaced in the last week to show support for the Ukrainian military and the counteroffensive.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Sean Townsend, a spokesperson for the loose collective of hackers and various hacking groups in Ukraine known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyber.org.ua\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ukrainian Cyber Alliance<\/a>, told CyberScoop in an online chat that it is his understanding that \u201cInfotel was wiped, including servers (backups too) and core routers (configs reset, firmware erased).\u201d Townsend added that Infotel JSC \u201ccannot bring up the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudflare.com\/learning\/security\/glossary\/what-is-bgp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BGP routing<\/a>\u201d \u2014 which internet service providers use route internet traffic \u2014 and added that \u201cI expect that they will (spend) no less than a week to restore the service at minimal level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Infotel\u2019s network went down at roughly 11:00 UTC (7 am ET) Thursday, according to Doug Madory, the director of internet analysis at the network monitoring firm Kentik.
