Hackers attempted to steal approximately $45 million from The Russian Central Bank in a breach occurring earlier this year, according to reports<\/a> surfacing last Friday.<\/p>\n

Unidentified hackers used falsified customer credentials to access a total of $45 million from multiple accounts and transfer funds into new accounts. The bank said it was able to reduce the affected amount by $26 million by freezing affected accounts, but did not say whether this meant the hackers made off with the remaining $19 million.<\/p>\n

On the same day that the bank disclosed the hack, officials at the FSB, Russia’s state security agency, accused unnamed ‘foreign spies’ of attempting to weaken its domestic banking system via a combined effort of cyber attacks and false social media reports about bank failures.<\/p>\n

FSB officials linked Netherlands-based servers leased to BlazingFast, a Ukrainian web-hosting firm, to an impending cyber attack on Russian banks, set to launch on December 5th, 2016.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the FSB declared that the planned cyber attack would be followed by mass-texts via SMS, and falsified social media posts about a crisis in the Russian banking system.<\/p>\n

“The FSB is carrying out the necessary measures to neutralize threats to Russia’s economic and information security.”<\/p>\n

BlazingFast director Anton Onoprichuk told CNN \u201cwe cannot find any malicious data,\u201d adding that \u201cnobody can prove that our customers did anything wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
