Non-profit endures “strongest” cyberattack

January 22, Pozirk. The BYSOL Solidarity Foundation website repelled “the strongest and most professional” cyberattack this morning, the foundation’s co-founder and leader Andrej Stryžak said on Facebook.
The attack was special because it was “carried out at a high technical level and involved new methods, which we had not encountered before,” he said.
He said the website can be inaccessible in some regions for the time being “for users’ safety.”
“The website, the payment system, and the personal data storage are protected and functional,” Stryžak stressed.
BYSOL Solidarity Foundation, a non-profit NGO, was founded on August 14, 2020, in response to mass reprisals in Belarus. It organizes fundraisers to support regime victims and helps people who face political persecution to flee the country.
It was declared an extremist group in December 2021.
Criminal cases were opened against Stryžak in Belarus.
