reported The Bell problems with access to the site due to an “external attack.”
“ The Bell website was unavailable this afternoon and access problems continue to this day. The reason was an external attack, the source and purpose of which are still unclear to us,” the publication says in its Telegram channel.
Earlier, on August 12, unknown persons forged a notarized power of attorney on behalf of The Bell correspondent Irina Pankratova and ordered details of her calls and SMS for almost two years from a communication salon.
In recent months, the journalist has written about the underground business of online casinos , the son-in-law of Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, the corporate conflict in the cosmetics company Natura Siberica and the market for “breaking through” government databases after the investigation into the poisoning of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
