🇷🇺Widespread Banking Outage Hits Russia Amid Internet Controls Yesterday Russia experienced a significant, hours-long disruption to its digital payment systems and banking applications nationwide. The outage forced a temporary reversion to cash-only transactions for many citizens and businesses, though services have since been restored. Initial reports attribute the failure to the blocking of core IP addresses within the banking infrastructure. This event is being widely interpreted as a deliberate test by the Kremlin to prepare for more extensive restrictions on internet access, tightening its control over the digital domain.
