Recently, the threat of a cyberattack scheduled for November 17 has been actively discussed on social media. Users are expressing concerns that this could lead to a complete internet shutdown in the country and the wiping of funds from citizens' bank accounts.
Protecting Banking Data
According to cybersecurity expert Vlad Tkachev, these reports are fabricated and have no basis. In an interview with Nomad TV, the specialist explained that financial systems are protected against such scenarios.
"Banking data is stored in backups, so even a large-scale cyberattack will not lead to money disappearing from accounts."
Thus, even in the event of a large-scale attack, the existence of backups allows for the preservation of information regarding user account balances.
