Russia's National Coordination Center for Computer Incidents (NKTsKI) is warning organizations in the country's credit and financial sector about a breach at LANIT, a major Russian IT service and software provider.
According to the bulletin, which was also published on the website of GosSOPKA (State System for Detection, Prevention, and Elimination of Consequences of Computer Attacks), the attack took place on February 21, 2025, and potentially impacted LLC LANTER and LLC LAN ATMservice, both part of the LANIT Group of Companies.
LANIT Group is a significant and influential company in Russia's information technology sector, considered the country's largest system integrator.
Its clientele includes prominent entities such as the Russian Ministry of Defense and major players in the military-industrial complex, including Rostec, which is why it got sanctioned by the U.S. Department of the Treasury in May 2024.
