Details: It is noted that customers of T-Bank, Alfa-Bank, VTB, as well as the Rapid Payment System (RPS) and Yandex Pay are experiencing problems.

In addition, Lukoil, Russia’s largest private oil operator, is likely to have been hacked. The company's employees cannot log into their work accounts. They have been ordered to turn off their computers and not use logins and passwords to avoid data leaks.

Problems are being experienced not only at the head office, but also in the regional offices. "Last year, it took about three days to recover the system after a similar attack," the source said.

Background: Internet users in Russia complained about malfunctions of telecom operators and a number of services.
