Microolap

Profile narrative

Microolap, also known by its alias, is a network monitoring firm headquartered in Russia. The company offers a core product called EtherSensor that functions as its network monitoring platform. EtherSensor is used to monitor the performance and integrity of network infrastructure for various customers. Among its customers are organisations such as Russian Railways, Goznak, VTB Bank and its leasing arm, and NEK.TECH. Microolap states that its platform continued to operate normally during the August 2026 incident and that no performance data were affected. The firm describes its solution as being isolated from critical infrastructure in the systems that were compromised.

The August 2026 breach involved attackers accessing rarely used development systems hosted by a third party, an outdated website version, and an old Bitrix24 CRM containing limited data. Microolap confirmed that the breach did not reach its core network monitoring platform or compromise customer data stored there. The attackers identified themselves as the pro‑Ukraine group Black Spark and claimed to have extracted data from several of Microolap’s customers. Microolap’s investigation indicated that the compromised systems were isolated from its critical infrastructure and that EtherSensor remained unaffected. The company is headquartered in Russia, and no further details about its ownership, parent or subsidiary relationships are provided in the available sources.
