Pro-Ukrainian hackers claim massive cyberattack on Russia's Aeroflot
reuters.com - Russian airline Aeroflot was forced to cancel more than 50 round-trip flights on Monday, disrupting travel across the world's biggest country, as two pro-Ukraine hacking groups claimed to have inflicted a crippling cyberattack. Aeroflot cancels dozens of flights Prosecutors say the airline was hacked Two pro-Ukraine groups claim responsibility Passengers vent fury, Kremlin calls situation 'alarming' MOSCOW, July 28 (Reuters) - Russian airline Aeroflot (AFLT.MM), opens new tab was forced to cancel more than 50 round-trip flights on Monday, disrupting travel across the world's biggest country, as two pro-Ukraine hacking groups claimed to have inflicted a crippling cyberattack. The Kremlin said the situation was worrying, and lawmakers described it as a wake-up call for Russia. Prosecutors confirmed the disruption at the national flag carrier was caused by a hack and opened a criminal investigation. Senior lawmaker Anton Gorelkin said Russia was under digital attack. "We must not forget that the war against our country is being waged on all fronts, including the digital one. And I do not rule out that the ‘hacktivists’ who claimed responsibility for the incident are in the service of unfriendly states," Gorelkin said in a statement. Another member of parliament, Anton Nemkin, said investigators must identify not only the attackers but "those who allowed systemic failures in protection". Aeroflot did not say how long the problems would take to resolve, but departure boards at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport turned red as flights were cancelled at a time when many Russians take their holidays. The company's shares were down by 3.9% by 1533 GMT, underperforming the wider market, which was 1.3% lower. A statement purporting to be from a hacking group called Silent Crow said it had carried out the operation together with Belarusian Cyberpartisans, a self-styled hacktivist group that opposes president Alexander Lukashenko and says it wants to liberate Belarus from dictatorship.

Russian vodka producer reports disruptions after ransomware attack | The Record from Recorded Future News
therecord.media - Novabev Group, the Russian maker of Beluga Vodka and other brands, had to stop shipments and temporarily close stores in its WineLab subsidiary after a ransomware attack. More than 2,000 WineLab liquor stores across Russia have remained shut for three days following a ransomware attack on their parent company, one of Russia’s largest alcohol producers. Signs on WineLab doors said the stores were closed due to “technical issues.” The attack crippled parts of the Novabev Group’s infrastructure, affecting WineLab’s point-of-sale systems and online services. The company confirmed that the attackers had demanded a ransom but said it refused to negotiate. “The company maintains a principled position of rejecting any interaction with cybercriminals and refuses to fulfill their demands,” Novabev Group said in a statement on Wednesday. There is no indication so far that customer data has been compromised, though an investigation is ongoing, the company added. The identity of the attackers remains unknown. No ransomware group has claimed responsibility for the incident, and Novabev has not publicly attributed the attack. Novabev Group is a major Russian producer and distributor of spirits, including the Beluga and Belenkaya vodka brands. The cyberattack has halted product shipments from Novabev for at least two days, according to local retailers quoted by Russian media outlet Vedomosti. Customers also reported being unable to pick up orders from retail locations or parcel lockers, with customer service offering to extend storage periods for online purchases. WineLab’s stores are currently closed in major cities, including Moscow, St. Petersburg and surrounding regions, according to location data from Yandex Maps. Novabev’s website and mobile app also remain offline. Forbes Russia estimated that each day of downtime could cost WineLab 200 million to 300 million rubles ($2.6 million to $3.8 million) in lost revenue. Cybersecurity experts interviewed by Forbes said they could not recall a comparable case in which a major Russian retail chain was forced to shut down entirely due to a cyberattack. Novabev said its internal IT team is working “around the clock” with external specialists to restore operations and strengthen defenses against future threats.
