(MENAFN- Middle East)
Fawry has completed a thorough investigation of its cybersecurity infrastructure, following earlier hypotheses this month about a breach of its systems via ransomware attacker LockBit.
Fawry hired Group-IB, a leading cybersecurity generation author who investigates, prevents, and combats virtual crime, to investigate an incident after ransomware organization LockBit posted a pattern of data on its Nov. 8 breach site that was allegedly stolen. in a breach of Fawry’s infrastructure.
On Nov. 24, Group-IB’s Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) team demonstrated that Fawry’s production segment, the live environment that hosts myfawry, acceptance, retail, and Fawry Plus banking applications, was unsuccessful in the LockBit ransomware attacks. And it doesn’t succeed.
This assessment supports Fawry’s initial announcement on Nov. 10 that his live production environment had been breached and that no banking or card knowledge had leaked from the platform.
However, they also showed that a remote component of Fawry’s verification environment, used to design and verify settings on its platform and away from its production environment, had already been attacked.
The attack managed to encrypt some files and allegedly exfiltrated data. Fawry remains confident that this data will not affect financial transactions on its platform, but the company believes it may have included the private data of some users whose data was on the checking platform as a component of a formula migration project.
These main points come with tactile data such as addresses and phone numbers, in addition to visitors’ dates of birth. Although they do not pose a threat to the security of monetary transactions, if a visitor is involved in your account, a recommendation should be obtained on Fawry’s online page or by calling Fawry’s visitor service center.
Group-IB has also implemented its patented solution of complex tracking technologies lacheck on 100 percent of Fawry’s server infrastructure. Both segments (production and control environments) have lost the presence of LockBit since November 24. Fawry’s team has 100 percent removed the observed signs of the LockBit code and Groupe-IB experts have put the finishing touches on cleaning up the network.
