Napad u Saratovskoj oblasti, na reci Volgi, usledio je nakon tri napada protekle sedmice na data centre, koji su u vlasništvu ruske tehnološke grupacije "Yandex".
Ukrajina tvrdi da na taj način odgovara na ruske napade na njene data centre.
"Potvrđujemo da je centar bio napadnut. Istovremeno, svi sistemi i usluge 'Sberbanka' rade normalno, bez ikakvih prekida", izjavio je novinarima Aleksander Vedjahin, prvi zamenik glavnog izvršnog direktora Sberbanka.

Uz "Yandex", "Sberbank" je vodeća ruska kompanija na području veštačke inteligencije. Iako su obe kompanije znatno ulagale u razvoj svojih modela ChatGPT-a, znatno zaostaju za vodećim svetskim kompanijama.
Jedan od razloga za to su zapadne sankcije koje Rusiji otežavaju pristup najnaprednijem hardveru.
