Turkish hacker group targets Austrian National Bank

Posted on September 13, 2016 by Dissent

The Local reports:

A Turkish hacker group has allegedly tried hacking into the National Bank of Austria after reportedly being behind an attempted cyber attack at Vienna airport two weeks ago.

The hackers’ collective, which goes under the name of Aslan Neferler, said the cyber attacks on Austrian institutions are revenge for Austria’s “anti-Turkish political stance”.

They claimed responsibility for two DoS-attacks on Friday night, when most of the bank’s IT-technicians were not working. By sending five million emails per minute the attackers tried to clog the bank’s server.

Read more on The Local. The attack was announced on Twitter by the @AslaNeferler account on September 9.
