Hackers attack Greek central bank

Athens, May 4: Hackers attacked the central Bank of Greece to protest the corrupt intertiol fincial system, warning that there will be more cyber attacks across the globe, sources said on Wednesday. The attack was carried out on Tuesday during a holiday in Greece and caused a disruption of the bank’s website for about six hours, local media reports said, based on a video posted on social media by the intertiol hacker activist group, Anonymous. The central bank has not confirmed the attack yet. It is not the first time that Anonymous has targeted Greek fincial institutions. The Greek fincial ministry and other ministries were targeted in the past. Anonymous said Tuesday’s attack was against “global corrupt fincial institutions”, and more attacks will follow over the next month against central banks and other fincial organisations including in India, the US and Brazil.
