Court of Accounts of Moldova was hacked by threat actors. Agency’s public databases and audits were destroyed. Agency is investigating whether the attack was done for extortion or to disrupt their work. Agency shut down its website while the incident is investigated and data can be restored. Threat actors could have caused further damage by using the site to distribute malicious office documents that installed malware to visitors. Last week, researchers from T&T Security disclosed that the Kazakhstan government’s ‘Open Budgets’ website used by government agencies and local government branches was hacked.
