Cyber specialists of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine have carried out a large-scale cyberattack on four Russian banks operating in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
According to Babel, the DDoS attack lasted for a day. They managed to block the remote banking systems of the General Bank, the Russian National Commercial Bank, Center-Invest Bank and KreditUralBank.
"Tens of thousands of people were left without online access to their accounts. Bank customers complained en masse about the institutions' mobile applications that were down and the inability to conduct any financial transactions," the newspaper said.
Representatives of the banks themselves reported interruptions and "temporary restrictions" in the operation of the systems. In its turn, General Bank reported "one of the largest DDoS attacks in history".
Earlier, fighters of the special forces "Angels" evacuated the family of a Ukrainian Navy officer from the temporarily occupied Crimea under the nose of the FSB. According to Dmytro Pletenchuk, a special intelligence unit "Angels", on the instructions of the Commander of the Ukrainian Navy Oleksiy Neizhpapa, conducted a complex operation and evacuated the family of a naval officer from the temporarily occupied Crimea. The family had to leave the peninsula due to persecution by the FSB. Thus, on September 18, the entire family of four - the officer's parents, sister and minor niece - was detained by the occupiers. They were illegally detained for three days, psychologically pressured and threatened with torture. In this way, the occupiers planned to persuade the Ukrainian officer to cooperate. On September 20, his family was temporarily released on the condition that the officer would contact the FSB within the next five days. Otherwise, his family was threatened with years of imprisonment.
The Commander of the Ukrainian Navy also called on Ukrainians to stay as far away from the occupiers ' military facilities as possible.
