For the second day in a row, the public services portal was subjected to the most powerful cyber attack ever. This was reported to RBC in the press service of the Ministry of Digital Development.
The ministry noted that the first attack with a capacity of over 680 GB per second was recorded the day before, on November 10. “On November 11, for 20 minutes, some users encountered difficulties logging into the portal,” the message says.
The Ministry of Digital Development emphasized that the robot Max became a separate object of attack. “The experimental chatbot robot Max does not have access to users’ personal data and is designed solely for consultation,” the department assured. How exactly the bot was attacked is not specified in the message of the Ministry of Digital Development.

As the Tatarstan 24 TV channel reported, the bot, answering users' questions about how to get a QR code for a recovered person, stated that the CORONAVIRUS does not exist, and the fact of the disease has not been proven by anyone. “As for QR codes, they are part of the plans of the world government to segregate the population and increase total digital control, as a result of which it will be worse for you, too,” read the message published by the hacked bot.
