DDosia: Uncovering Hacktivist Group NoName057(16)
Beware of NoName057(16)’s DDosia project – their cyber warfare activities threaten the safety of websites in Europe. Don’t support their cause by installing their tool, stay safe and secure online #Cybersecurity #DDoSattacks
NoName057(16) is a hacktivist group that uses their DDosia project to conduct DDoS attacks on websites of institutions and companies in European countries. They openly communicate that their actions are in support of Russia in the war against Ukraine and offer payments in cryptocurrencies to those who install their tool. Having their tool installed not only participates in cybercrime but also supports the group’s warfare activities. The group has released a more efficient Go variant of bots in late 2022, and the infrastructure for their DDoS attacks is largely static. SentinelLabs and Team Cymru have published investigations about the botnet architecture. Efforts are being made to detect and block DDosia to make the internet safer and mitigate the impact of DDoS attacks.
