The Russian news agency Interfax has been lamented on Tuesday by a hacker attack. Almost all servers are affected, said Deputy General Director Alexei Gorschkov. It is unclear when the problem can be solved. The Russian news agency Interfax has apparently become the victim of a cryptotrojaner. As the news agency Tass reports, Interfax on Tuesday could not transmit messages to the customers. “We were hit by a more massive virus attack,” says Tass Alexei Gorschkow of Interfax. The staff would work to restore the systems, but it would be difficult to predict when to return to normal work. According to the security researchers of the group IB, the news agency was a victim of a cryptotryan named “BadRabbit”. Interfax has been established as an independent news agency during perestroika and is partly in state hands. The famous St. Petersburg Internet portal Fontanka.ru was also attacked by hackers at the same time, they said. The operators declared in social media that they had become victims of a hacker attack.

Why This EU Law Could Bust Open Retail Banking: QuickTake Q&A

It sounds like yet another arcane regulation from Brussels technocrats. But the revised Payment Services Directive, a European Union law adopted in 2015 and that begins to take effect in January, is nothing of the sort. PSD2, the less-than-catchy title for such landmark legislation, will force banks to share oceans of financial information about their customers with fintech upstarts and other rivals. It could revolutionize how more than 500 million Europeans spend, borrow and invest. For lenders, which have long considered customer data a proprietary asset, life may never be the same.

1. What does PSD2 require?
European Union banks must provide legitimate, outside firms access to customer accounts — if an account holder gives consent. That means banks must send their customers’ data to fintech firms or, if the customer wishes, to the likes of Amazon.com Inc. and Apple Inc., which have their own digital payment services. To quicken the flow of information, PSD2 also requires banks to establish standardized digital connections with other companies.

2. Why is this happening?
The EU has been frustrated by the dominance of its big banks and the high fees they charge. By forcing them to share their customers and data, the EU hopes competitors will offer consumers new products and better service — at lower cost.
