Russia’s top oil producer Rosneft (ROSN.MM) has said a large-scale cyber attack hit its servers on Tuesday and computer systems at some banks and the main airport in neighbouring Ukraine were also disrupted. A Moscow-based cyber security firm, Group-IB, said it appeared to be a coordinated attack simultaneously targeting victims in Russia and Ukraine. Rosneft, one of the world’s biggest producers of crude oil by volume, said its oil production had not been affected. In Ukraine, Yevhen Dykhne, director of Boryspyl Airport, said it had been hit by a cyber attack. The Ukrainian central bank said a number of banks and companies, including the state power distributor, were hit by a cyber attack that disrupted some operations.
