Revil has enough of a history of hacking, that there is a wiki page for it/them. Something to note, going into the weekend. Supposedly Russia made arrests awhile ago, to which the US applauded.

REvil (Ransomware Evil; also known as Sodinokibi) was a Russia-based[1] or Russian-speaking[2] private ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation.[3] After an attack, REvil would threaten to publish the information on their page Happy Blog unless the ransom was received. In a high profile case, REvil attacked a supplier of the tech giant Apple and stole confidential schematics of their upcoming products. In January 2022, the Russian Federal Security Service said they had dismantled REvil and charged several of its members.

Another source here, with no references to SWIFT.

Several hacker groups have announced a large scale attack on the European banking system. According to Lenta.ru, we are talking about representatives of Killnet, Anonymous Sudan and Revil.

If they wanted to be 'white hats', while they're mucking around do to the WEF connected fear most---exposure.

Sort of like the scene in the first 'Iron Man' where he pulls the thug terrorizing a village into the street and tells the villagers: "he's all yours".

“...particularly targeting the SWIFT wire transfer system...”

Well that’s not fair! How will all of the illegal invaders on American Soil send American Taxpayer Dollars back to their Hellhole Homelands?

“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.”

Believe it.

I expect an attack on the air traffic control infrastructure. Remember the last couple shut downs due to software problems?

OK, I’m not up on cyber culture so much. But it seems strange to me that they would announce an attack and the target of that attack in advance. Why announce everything?
