00:02A pro-Iranian cybercrime group claimed responsibility for distributed denial-of-service
00:07attacks that briefly knocked Chime and Pinterest offline, according to Bloomberg.
00:11Chime experienced an outage on April 1st that prevented customers from accessing services.
00:16The company said the disruption was quickly resolved and no funds or member data were
00:20compromised. Pinterest reported a similar attack Tuesday that affected less than 2%
00:25of traffic and was mitigated within minutes. The group also claimed additional attacks
00:29on U.S. companies that could not be verified. A government advisory warned that Iranian-aligned
00:34hackers disrupted operational technology systems in U.S. critical infrastructure,
00:39causing operational and financial losses in energy and water sectors.
