T-Bank Warns Customers of Payment and Transfer Outages
On the afternoon of November 3, clients of T-Bank encountered difficulties when attempting to make payments and transfers through the bank's online platform.
The bank itself acknowledged the problem by displaying a clear message in the mobile app and web interface: “Payments and transfers may not work — we are already fixing it.”
Customers who contacted Interfax confirmed that while the “Send” button remains active, the actual execution of transactions often fails.
The warning applies specifically to payments and transfers; other banking functions such as balance checks and account management continue to operate normally.
T-Bank did not disclose the cause of the outage, the total number of affected users, or an expected timeframe for resolution.
Independent monitoring platform DETECTOR404 registered the same service degradation, corroborating both user reports and the bank’s own notification.

Developer Creates Personal Task Manager Allowing Claude Code and OpenCode Agents to Autonomously Execute Marked Tasks
A developer has built a personal task management system at shar8.app that integrates directly with AI coding agents including Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode through the Model Context Protocol. Tasks marked with an 'Agent' flag are automatically picked up by scheduled agent runs, executed locally on the user's machine, and results are written back into the task notes for human review. The system supports both browser-based OAuth authentication and persistent bearer tokens for headless cron or CLI usage, with strict separation between human-initiated and agent-initiated actions. Security measures include treating task text as untrusted data rather than instructions, disabling all tools by default, and requiring explicit allow-lists for any external actions such as web search. The implementation uses a custom MCP server exposing fifteen specific tools for listing, creating, editing, and delegating tasks, while a companion plugin for Claude Code handles scheduled execution via native system schedulers like launchd and systemd timers. The author emphasizes that agents never assign work to themselves and that final task closure always remains with the human user.
Rostelecom Refactors InfoSec Careers: Matching Employee Skills to Evolving Business Priorities
Rostelecom's information security block developed a systematic approach to reassess employee expertise and redirect talent to new roles when business structures change rapidly. In one case, an architect hired for a specific team was reassigned after the unit was disbanded, initially moving to a similar position that did not fully align with his broader competencies. HR-business partner Olga Lapshina examined the specialist's full background, including prior work in audits, methodology development, regulatory documentation, university teaching, and scientific research, plus strong mentoring abilities with younger staff. These skills matched the needs of the methodology department, leading to a transfer supported by an individual development plan and a mentor via the internal Tochka Rosta platform. Within two months the employee contributed improvements that accelerated preliminary InfoSec audits by 30 percent and risk assessments by 20 percent while expanding threat scenario coverage by 10 percent. The initiative demonstrates Rostelecom's emphasis on horizontal career movement and retention of experienced professionals through structured career tracks.
How to Avoid Becoming the Hero of 'My Program Deleted 800 GB': Safe Recursive Deletion in Bash and Python
A recent Habr article examines dangerous patterns in recursive file deletion scripts that have caused massive data loss incidents, including an 800 GB wipe triggered by Telegram Desktop on Windows. The piece analyzes classic mistakes such as empty variables in rm commands and extra spaces that turned single paths into multiple destructive arguments, referencing the 2015 Steam Linux bug and the 2011 Bumblebee installer error. It provides hardened Bash templates using set -euo pipefail, ${VAR:?} checks, realpath validation, and --one-file-system flags to prevent deletion of forbidden directories or symlinked targets. The Python section introduces a safe_rmtree wrapper that enforces root boundaries, rejects symlinks, uses resolve(strict=True), and checks shutil.rmtree.avoids_symlink_attacks before proceeding. Additional recommendations include dry-run modes, marker files, temporary directory usage, and logging to make deletion operations auditable and reversible where possible.
Hackers tamper with refrigeration units in European supermarkets, setting temperatures to +50 °C
Attackers gained unauthorized access to refrigeration and freezer control systems in supermarkets across several European countries, including Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Estonia. In multiple locations they altered temperature settings to +50 °C, risking widespread spoilage of perishable goods. The incidents primarily affected older, unpatched Danfoss controllers that had been connected to networks for remote maintenance. Estonian manufacturer Kitman Coldtech reported that one attack on a legacy Danfoss system was detected and stopped within approximately ten minutes, preventing any damage. Similar intrusions were confirmed by Swedish chains ICA and Coop, following earlier incidents in French supermarkets in October that resulted in product losses. Experts note that legacy industrial controllers remain attractive targets because they are often left exposed once placed online for convenience.
