Ukrainian hacktivists claim to have breached the Central Bank of Russia, stealing thousands of internal documents.
A 2.6 GB folder released publicly on Thursday contains 27,000 allegedly stolen files detailing the bank’s operations, its security policies, and the personal data of some of its current and former employees.
The departure from Russia of global technology and cybersecurity companies like Cisco, IBM, Oracle, Imperva, Fortinet, Norton, and Avast has also made Russian businesses more vulnerable to cyberattacks.
According to Russian media, demand in the Russian banking sector for services that help defend against cyberattacks and data leaks has increased sharply since the start of the war.
The budget bill detailing the earmarked collaboration money also includes $3 billion for chip production and $2.5 billion for chip materials.
