The addresses linked to the assault stole 206,809 Binance Coin (BNB) from Qubit’s QBridge protocol. The assets are valued at more than $80 million at the time of writing.

Segway

Segway, the company most famous for its two-wheeled “hoverboard”, has confirmed it suffered a cyberattack that saw it leak credit card data to malicious actors.

The company’s online store was breached sometime around January 6, 2022 (possibly even earlier), by a group known as Magecart Group 12. As the name suggests, the group works to steal credit card information by integrating the Magecart script onto vulnerable online stores. The script intercepts transaction data during the checkout in an online store, which is a process also known as form jacking, digital skimming, or e-skimming. 

Belarusian Railway servers

A group of hackers (known as Belarusian Cyber-Partisans) claim they breached and encrypted servers belonging to the Belarusian Railway, Belarus’s national state-owned railway company.

They say their attack was prompted by Russia using Belarusian Railway’s rail transport network to move military units and equipment into the country.

“At the command of the terrorist Lukashenka, Belarusian Railway allows the occupying troops to enter our land,” the group said today on Twitter.

“We encrypted some of BR’s servers, databases and workstations to disrupt its operations. Automation and security systems were NOT affected to avoid emergency situations.”

The Belarusian Cyber-Partisans hacktivists say they have the encryption keys for the compromised Belarusian Railway servers. They added that they’re also ready to return the systems to normal mode under some conditions.
