Häromveckan utsattes den sociala medieplattformen X för en hackerattack i form av en så kallad riktad denial of service-attack (DDOS). En DDOS-attack eller överbelastningsattack går ut på att överbelasta den utsatta sajten och på så sätt få den att sluta fungera ordentligt.

That's a great thing to say, Japanese.

Das Internet ist nicht kein rechtsfreier Raum und sich an einem Krieg indirekt zu beteiligen ist generell auch keine gute Idee als Zivilist:
Operation „Power OFF“: ZIT und HLKA nehmen mutmaßlichen Unterstützer des Hacktivisten-Kollektivs #KillNET fest und stellen umfangreiche Daten sicher
"Dem 24-jährigen Beschuldigten aus dem Kreis Stormarn (Schleswig-Holstein) wird unter anderem vorgeworfen, die Durchführung von...„Distributed Denial-of-Service“ (#DDoS)-Angriffe..."

What really caught my eye about the indictment of two Sudanese brothers accused of running AnonSudan was that the indictment listed the objects of the conspiracy in ways I do not think I've ever seen before in any DDoS or ransomware indictment. Here are some of the alleged objects of the conspiracy listed in Count One:
b. to cause the modification, impairment, and potential modification or impairment of the medical examination, diagnosis, treatment, and care of one or more individuals, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1030(a)(5)(A), (c)(4)(B)(i),(c)(4)(A)(i)(II);
c. to cause physical injury to any person, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1030(a)(5)(A), (c)(4)(B)(i),
(c)(4)(A)(i)(III);
d. to cause a threat to public health or safety, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1030(a)(5)(A),(c)(4)(B)(i), (c)(4)(A)(i)(IV);
[...]
g. to attempt to cause and knowingly and recklessly cause serious bodily injury, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1030(a)(5)(A), (c)(4)(E);
h. to attempt to cause and knowingly and recklessly cause death, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1030(a)(5)(A), (c)(4)(F);
Does intent follow the DDoS target?

Ile z tego, co słyszeliśmy o haktywistach z Killnetu, było prawdą, a ile PR-ową zagrywką lub sianiem dezinformacji? Czy naprawdę doszło do przeformowania się tej grupy w prywatną firmę wojskową? Co wiemy o jej liderze? Na te i kilka innych pytań odpowiada moja prezentacja z #OhMyHack, oparta na śledztwie w rosyjskich źródłach. Oglądacie na własną odpowiedzialność ;-)
Good job #KillNet, a wordpress site for one school in Paraguay is successfully denazified.
Posiedziałam dziś chwilę, weryfikując, jak dużo bitcoinów udało się zebrać grupie rosyjskich haktywistów Killnet dzięki postom publikowanym na Telegramie (na jej podstawowym kanale). Wyszło mi, że na 10 powiązanych z grupą portfeli wpłynęło w sumie ok. 23,5 BTC, co stanowi równowartość ponad 960 tys. dolarów. Prawie wszystkie środki zostały już wypłacone.
Killnet’s new leader, introduced in a separate post on the group’s official Telegram channel, is identified as Deanon Club, a known threat actor with a history of collaboration with Killmilk.

@campuscodi had this interesting news item on his #RiskyBiz newsletter:
"Killnet leader dox: In a surprising turn of events, a regime-controlled news outlet has doxed and revealed the real-world identity of Killmilk, the leader of the infamous pro-Kremlin hacktivist group Killnet. According to Russian news outlet Gazeta, Killmilk is a 30-year-old named Nikolai Nikolaevich Serafimov. The news outlet says it learned of Killmilk's identity from two Russian hacktivist groups, and they later confirmed the dox with a source in Russian law enforcement."

A new #NETSCOUT blog post went live on the notorious #threat actor group Anonymous Sudan:
#Gaza-linked hackers and Pro-#Russia groups are targeting #Israel

As per #JasonJaySmart
RUSSIA 🇷🇺 IS HACKING ISRAEL 🇮🇱
There are no independent hackers in 🇷🇺:
They all work, directly or indirectly, for the Kremlin.
Killnet, a 🇷🇺 hacking collective under the 🇷🇺 government, has announced that it is attacking Israel 🇮🇱.
Russia is seeking to provoke a global war.
Red Cross tells hacktivists: stop targeting hospitals. Of course, #KillNet and its ilk don't care; they're likely proxies for Moscow.

Pro-Russian hacktivists have attacked European banking institutions, listing European Investment Bank (#EIB) as one of their victims.
Earlier today, the pro-Russian #Killnet #hackers group claimed on their Telegram to have targeted the inter-network infrastructure of the EIB. https://cybernews.com/news/european-investment-bank-cyberattack-russia/
