Cybercrime

North Korean hackers have stolen £450 million in the world's largest cryptocurrency theft. The hacker group known as Lazarus is behind the 2017 WannaCry Ransomeware attack, which affected 200,000 computers worldwide, including those of the National Health Service.

Hellenic Post, ELTA, announced on Wednesday that it had restarted the system that enables objects and items to be sent abroad after a cyber-attack brought the computers down.

Days before, financial services and the sending of simple correspondence were also re-activated. The suspension of these operations, among other things, has caused delays in the payment of pensions.

The team will be "recruited" from six European countries - Croatia, Estonia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland and Romania.
Earlier, the Ukrainian cyber security services warned of upcoming hacker attacks and threats, amid the conflict with Russia in the eastern part of the country.

Ljubljana – The scope of the cyberattack that broadcaster POP TV suffered on 8 February is becoming clear. The company has revealed hackers gained access to some personal data of individuals recruited for its shows, visitors to live shows, and personnel recruitment data. The hackers have not publicly disclosed the data as yet.

A series of cyberattacks yesterday thwarted the websites of the Ukrainian army, the Ministry of Defense and major banks, Ukrainian authorities said, citing the Associated Press.

However, there are no indications that relatively simple denial-of-service attacks (DoS) can be a cover for more serious and harmful cybercrime.

Ljubljana – After one of Slovenia’s largest commercial TV operators Pro Plus faced a cyber-attack on Tuesday, it is now gradually resuming operations and focusing all efforts on getting its main systems back up and running, reads Wednesday’s announcement on the company’s website 24ur.com.
