Problems are reported from Moscow and the region, from St. Petersburg, Krasnodar Krai, Nizhny Novgorod Region and other regions.
“Business Online doesn’t work,” writes one user, “Payment doesn’t go through,” reports another Sber client.
Rosbank and Post Bank clients report similar problems. Since the morning, users have been complaining about the VTB app not working.
How reported RBC in the press service of VTB, the reason for the failures that some clients encountered was provoked by a DDOS attack that was planned abroad
“The banking sector was subjected to a DDOS attack planned from abroad,” VTB reported.
Alfa-Bank, in turn, stated that there was no failure in the application. They clarified that the problems with logging in were related to technical issues and suggested trying to log in to the application later.
Users continue to report difficulties: some cannot launch the application, some cannot make transfers, others complain about the non-working Alfa Business Online.
