PRAGUE (Sputnik) - Hackers who disrupted the online services of five Czech banks on Wednesday demanded that the lenders cut financial support to Ukraine, Czech media reported, citing official data.
The Central European nation’s cybersecurity agency (NUKIB) acknowledged earlier in the day that several domestic banks had been targeted by distributed denial-of-service attacks that cut off access to online and mobile banking platforms.
A Czech news agency reported, citing NUKIB and the PwC consultancy, that the pro-Russian hacker group NoName057 was behind the attack on Komercni Banka, CSOB, Air Bank, Fio Banka and Ceska sporitelna.
