StarNet announced that in the evening of February 26 the company was subject to an organized cyber-attack. The attackers used a virus that allowed stealing information and enabled access to confident data, such as clients’ names and surnames, ID, telephones and email addresses, IPN reports, quoting a communique of the company.

StarNet said all clients’ data have been kept under strict control and protected in the company’s information system, but the way the attack was conducted led to the impossibility of accessing them.

The company immediately took additional protection measures and changed the passwords in all its IT systems. It also asked the competent authorities to investigate this case and identify those who staged this attack so that they could be held accountable.

To ensure the safety of the personal data, the company asked all its clients to modify the password on the StarNet Personal Account and the email address. It assures that the situation is under control and all the necessary measures are being taken to avoid such cases in the future.
