Some Russian financial organisations suffered a cyber attack from the so-called BadRabbit malware distributed through email, the country’s central bank’s Financial Sector Computer Emergency Response Team (FINCERT) said, adding that none of the affected entities were compromised.
"The Bank of Russia recorded a computer attack using malicious software," the statement reads
"As a result of the distribution of malicious software BadRabbit, no examples of compromised resources of financial organizations have been recorded. After the detection of the corresponding computer attack, FINCERT sent a bulletin to all the participants of the information exchange with recommendations on how to detect and counteract the malicious software sent by mail," the FT cited the statement as saying.
