The National Payment Card System NSCP, which operates the Mir payment network, states that its website does not store users’ personal data and remains disconnected from the core payment infrastructure. NSPK has commented through TASS on the possibility of a cyberattack aimed at a web resource and what it would imply for users and operators.

According to NSPK, the site is hosted and managed by a third party. It serves as a business card for the company, providing information about activities and capabilities rather than confidential data, and it has no access to payment processes or infrastructure. The organization emphasizes that this site is separate from the live payment network.

NSPK further notes that its computer centers and data processing facilities operate offline, meaning they are not connected to the internet. Therefore, all debit card transactions and payments conducted through the SBP are processed by NSPK in the usual manner, without disruption to the core services.

Reports about a potential breach of NSPK’s website circulated on Telegram channels after 21:00. At the time of the reports, the site was inaccessible, displaying a browser message that the page could not be loaded in some attempts to reach it.

There have been alerts from scammers offering compromised video card components, attempting to pass them off as legitimate full cards. This underscores the importance of verifying sources and resisting misinformation in the digital space. Attribution: NSPK communications and industry alerts.
