Cyberattaque d’une compagnie pétrolière: un virement bancaire de près de 5 milliards de FCfa déjoué
Senegalese law enforcement thwarted a large-scale cyberattack targeting a major oil company, preventing the diversion of a fraudulent bank transfer of 4.94 billion CFA francs, Interpol announced on Monday, December 22.
According to the international police coordination body, hackers had managed to infiltrate the company's internal messaging systems. Impersonating senior executives, they attempted to deceive managers into authorizing a fraudulent bank transfer, reports TV5 Monde.
Alerted in time, the Senegalese authorities were able to block the operation by urgently freezing the recipient accounts, thus preventing any withdrawal of funds. The investigation is ongoing to identify the perpetrators of this attempted fraud.
