Hungary hit by large cyber attack from Asia: Magyar Telekom

BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungarian financial institutions and telecoms infrastructure were hit with a powerful cyber attack on Thursday from computer servers located in Russia, China and Vietnam, telecoms firm Magyar Telekom said.

The event was a distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attack where hackers attempt to overwhelm a network with unusually high volumes of data traffic in order to paralyse it.

The volume of the attack was 10 times higher than that of usual DDoS attacks, the company said.

“That means that this was one of the biggest hacker attacks in Hungary ever, both in its size and complexity,” it said.

The Hungarian Civil Liberties Union and its coordinated fight against the use of Pegasus spyware - Media Defence – June 2023

The main problem is that Hungarian national security laws permit the government and its officials to use spyware tools to monitor citizens – without any judicial oversight. Even though it has been revealed by investigative journalists that Pegasus was used against journalists, we still know very little about this use. Decision-makers are able to keep everything secret.

People who were spied on with Pegasus could not access any information about their surveillance. They also could not find out the reasons that they were targeted. Another important issue is that there are no judicial procedures to provide remedies for those who have been targeted by the spyware. Under Hungarian law it seems impossible to achieve justice.

The U.S. government has banned European commercial spyware manufacturers Intellexa and Cytrox - BleepingComputer - July 2023

The U.S. government has banned European commercial spyware manufacturers Intellexa and Cytrox, citing risks to U.S. national security and foreign policy interests.

The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) added four commercial entities to its Entity List: Intellexa S.A. from Greece, Intellexa Limited from Ireland, Cytrox Holdings Zrt from Hungary, and Cytrox AD from North Macedonia.

This decision was motivated by the four companies' involvement in trafficking cyber exploits used to gain unauthorized access to the devices of high-risk individuals worldwide, threatening their security and privacy

David Irving explains the real reason for the #Hungary uprising of 1956.

🇭🇺🇷🇺🇺🇦 Negotiations have begun in Moscow between Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, a significant portion of which will clearly be devoted to the topic of the so-called Ukraine.

It is unlikely that any breakthrough decisions can be expected - the position of the main sponsors of the Kyiv regime remains unchanged and is to "fight to the last Ukrainian." Moreover, they have previously publicly rejected the conditions voiced by the President of Russia.

At the same time, as a result of the meeting, in addition to the now familiar statements about the need to achieve peace, some purely bilateral agreements may be reached, such as the return of captured AFU members of ethnic Hungarian origin from Zakarpattia to Hungary.

Nevertheless, it is worth noting that as the mobilization resource of the Ukrainian formations is exhausted, and even more so in the event of an increase in the pace of the advance of the Russian Armed Forces, the topic of negotiations in the West will be heard more and more often, including from the mouths of officials. With clarifications on the importance of complying with Russia's demands.

Ukraine cuts off Russian oil for Hungary

Hungary and Russia are trying to resume oil deliveries by Lukoil after Ukraine imposed tougher sanctions on the Russian company. Ukraine's recent sanctions prohibit Lukoil from using the country as a transit route.

Hungarian energy company, Mol, and Lukoil are seeking a solution, according to Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto. This announcement came after Szijjarto met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at a UN session in New York.

🇭🇺🇺🇦 Viktor Orban has released an open letter to #Zelensky, sharply criticizing #Kiev’s actions.

Orban says Zelensky has refused for four years to accept Hungary’s sovereign position on the Russia–Ukraine war and has tried to drag Hungary into the conflict with Brussels’ backing and the support of the Hungarian opposition. He accuses Kiev, Brussels, and Hungary’s opposition of coordinating efforts to install a pro-Ukraine government in Budapest.

#Orban also states that Ukraine has shut down the Druzhba oil pipeline, a key route for Hungary’s energy supply, putting Hungarian families at risk of higher costs and insecurity.

We Hungarians are not responsible for #Ukraine’s situation. We sympathize with the Ukrainian people, but we do not want to take part in the war. We do not want to finance the fighting or pay more for energy.

I call on you to immediately reopen the #Druzhba oil #pipeline and refrain from further attacks on Hungary’s energy security.

Show more respect for #Hungary.”

🇺🇦🇭🇺 Orban says Ukrainians are “already threatening” his family.

“Ukrainians are already threatening my family, children, and grandchildren. Everything is fine, but everything has its limit!” he wrote on Facebook.

⚠️ Previously, #Zelensky threatened to give #Orban’s phone number to the Ukrainian armed forces.

According to a video posted on a YouTube page called Pryamy TV, Ukrainian politician Hrihorij Omelcsenko, a former member of parliament and former officer of the Ukrainian Security Service, threatened Viktor Orbán and his family:

We know where he lives, where he spends the night, where he drinks beer and wine, where he goes out, who he meets, and so on. Therefore, if Orbán does not change his anti-Ukrainian stance towards Ukraine and continues to be an accomplice to Putin's war crimes, he should remember that KARMA never forgives anyone's sins. You cannot escape KARMA, you cannot hide from it, and you cannot buy your way out of it with billions. Think about your five children and six grandchildren, Orbán!

said Omelchenko, adding: "The elections will be held on April 12. I hope the opposition wins."
