Pro-Russian Hackers Detained in Spain for Cyberattacks on NATO Allies

Posted on July 21, 2024 by Dissent

EU Today reports:

Spain has apprehended three individuals accused of executing cyberattacks as part of a well-known pro-Russian hacker group targeting Ukraine and NATO countries that support Ukraine.

The Spanish Civil Guard announced on 20 July that they had detained the suspects in Manacor, Balearic Islands, and in the province of Andalusia. The individuals are alleged to have conducted Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks on governmental institutions and strategic sectors of nations backing Ukraine. These cyberattacks have been occurring since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

According to the Civil Guard, the detained hackers are members of the Russian “hacktivist” group “NoName057(16).” This group emerged in March 2022, initially targeting Ukrainian government and media websites before expanding its operations to include Western governmental, economic, and logistical structures, particularly in NATO member countries.
