The Government does not have any clues yet on who might be behind cyberattacks on the NZX, Radio NZ and Stuff, GCSB Minister Andrew Little says. Media companies and banks appear to have been targeted by the same cyber criminals who knocked the NZX’s website offline for periods during five consecutive business days. Supplied The cyber criminals behind the attack on NZX are believed to have assumed the identity of a notorious Russian gang. “As a matter of principle, we do not comment publicly on our specific cyber security arrangements or how we are responding to specific threats,” he said. “We don’t comment on specific cyber security events but every day criminals are trying to attack organisations around the world.
