The Record reports:
The pro-Ukraine hacking group Cyber Alliance has claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on CarMoney, a Russian microfinance company linked to the former wife of President Vladimir Putin.
CarMoney confirmed earlier this week that it had suffered a cyber incident, forcing it to shut down all systems after attackers sent spam messages to customers claiming the company was closing its business, donating its proceeds to charity and writing off all debts.
