The official domain of\u00a0HSBC (Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation) came under massive\u00a0distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on 12July affecting domain in UK and the USA.<\/p>\n

The DDoS attack was conducted by OurMine hacking group which previously made headlines for hacking social media accounts of high-profile tech celebrities including Facebook\u2019s Mark Zuckerberg and Google\u2019s Sundar Pichai but this is the second DDoS attack<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0after WikiLeaks last week.<\/p>\n

Currently, the reason for targeting HSBC bank is unknown though according to SoftPedia<\/strong><\/a> the cyber attack was stopped within few hours after one of HSBC\u2019s staffs contacted the attackers.\u00a0\u201cHello, We stopped the attack of HSBC Bank! a staff of HSBC Talked with us,\u201d stated<\/strong><\/a> the hackers on their official blog.<\/p>\n

Screenshot shared by attackers shows HSBC\u2019s UK and US domains are down!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It is unclear if the bank was targeted for ransom or just for fun, however, this is not the first time when HSBC faced such attacks. In January 2016 hacktivists from New World Hacktivists (NWH) claimed responsibility<\/strong> <\/a>for a DDoS attack on HSBC\u2019s mobile servers on\u00a0payday.<\/p>\n

As far as OurMine is concerned, it is the same group who hacked\u00a0Google\u2019s CEO Sundar Pichai Quora account<\/strong><\/a> which was also linked to his Twitter account, the group also hacked Facebook\u2019s CEO\u00a0Mark Zuckerberg Twitter and Pinterest<\/strong><\/a> accounts and last but not the least the official Twitter account of Twitter\u2019s CEO Jack Dorsey was also taken over<\/strong><\/a> by the same group.<\/p>\n

DDoS attacks have been increasing with every passing day<\/strong><\/a>. In the past, DDoS attacks were conducted just for fun or to shut down servers but now hackers attack sites for ransom and keep them down until a ransom is paid. The ProtonMail DDoS attack<\/strong><\/a> is a fine example of how these attacks are becoming another online mafia to steal money.<\/p>\n

At the time of publishing this article, both targeted sites were reachable.<\/p>\n
