Pro-Russian hackers allege "massive” cyberattack on Western financial system; led by Medibank hackers (SWIFT also a target)

Pro-Russian hacking outfits Killnet, REevil and Anonymous Sudan have allegedly formed an alliance to launch a concerted cyberattack on the Western financial system, particularly targeting the SWIFT wire transfer system, according to CyberKnow.

Forged in the underground hacking forums, the groups stated their “no money – no weapons – no Kiev regime” formula to cut off the pipeline of Western aid to Ukraine.

Their primary target is the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) system, which powers most international money and security transfers, failure of which could potentially cripple the Western financial system.

Other targets in their crosshairs include European and US banks and the US Federal Reserve System.

Spearheaded by REvil, one of the most notorious cybercrime syndicates in the world, and supported by Killnet, its close successor, their threats should not be taken lightly.

REvil was responsible for the Medibank data breach last year, where sensitive health records of nearly 10 million Australians were compromised in a cyberattack that shook the nation.

so you admit that Russia is deliberately attacking us

interesting ...

Could be—would you blame them after Blowing Northstream pipeline? Russians have a long memory—they are still upset about what we did in 1918. We shall see.

uh, before you go throwing around accusations, do you have any actual proof that “we” blew up Nordstream?

didn’t think so

(btw, we have memories too ... Russia might want to think twice before pulling any dirty tricks on us, it will only come back to bite them in the ass ...)

OK genius, you explain to us all how Vlady’s “simple 3-day conquest” is working so great ... after 17 months with still no end in sight, and the Russia economy tanking ...

you got a weird definition of success, LOL

Russia, Russia, Russia ...

There is at least a 50% chance this is the next stage in the currency makeover of the west’s financial system the banks have been longing to happen for decades.

When I was in college - a LONG time ago - a student conference I attended had a representative from the IMF speak to us about the future money system where there would be no paper money, but every country would be given “credits.” The IMF would see that everything was stable and equalized between countries. This took place before the internet existed, let alone digital currency.

Even then, I knew that “stable” and “equal” were code words for a philosophy of government that wasn’t native to the USA.
