The Austrian carbon emissions certificates registry, ECRA, said Friday
that certificates stolen Jan. 10 during a hackers attack have been located and
accounts frozen in
Sweden
and
Liechtenstein
.
ECRA said 488,141 certificates, with a value of around EUR7 million, were
transferred from an Austrian reserve account using login information obtained
by data fishing emails, and took place under cover of a Denial of Service, or
DoS, attack that lamed ECRA's data systems while the perpetrators were
operating.
The certificates, which were traceable through identification codes, were
located shortly after in the Swedish and
Liechtenstein
accounts, which were immediately frozen. No private or company certificates
accounts at ECRA were compromised during the attack, ECRA said.
Earlier this week the European Union froze trade in carbon certificates, after
around 1.3 million emission credits were stolen in the
Czech
Republic
.
The Austrian spot trade will be closed until at least Jan. 26, ECRA said.
