Several organisations, including Bangladesh Bank, Bangladesh Police, Corona BD, Islami Bank, BRAC Bank and bKash came under attack on Feb 15, according to the CIRT. In a statement released on its website on Tuesday, the CIRT's Cyber Threat Research team said a group called ‘KASABLANKA’ was behind the hacks, labelling the threat as 'high risk'. However, it could become a serious threat, which could lead to the theft of important information or large-scale financial losses,” it said. The CIRT also warned that hackers could mislead people about vaccines by creating fake web portals emulating the government's websites for COVID-19-related information. It called on the victims of cyber-attacks to be vigilant about cybersecurity and report suspicious matters to https://www.cirt.gov.bd/incident-reporting.
