NL Times reports:
A large-scale cyberattack hit multiple Dutch municipalities and provinces on Monday morning, rendering the websites of more than twenty local governments inaccessible for several hours. The attack, claimed by the pro-Russian hacker group NoName, caused significant disruption but did not compromise critical infrastructure or steal any data, according to AD.
The group, which has a history of cyber operations aligned with Russian interests, issued a statement taking responsibility for the disruption. NoName said their actions were in retaliation for the Netherlands’ support for Ukraine, which the group views as part of a broader “Russophobic” stance. “We decided to visit the ‘Russophobic’ Netherlands to remind them how initiatives supporting the Kyiv regime end,” the group wrote on social media.
