After DDoS attacks
Hackers in the service of Russia arrested in Spain
Police in Spain have arrested three pro-Russian hackers. They are accused of serious cyber attacks against Spain and other NATO countries for terrorist purposes, the Guardia Civil announced.
They are suspected of involvement in so-called DDoS attacks, in which website servers are flooded with requests in order to bring them down.
Arrests on Mallorca and in southern Spain
The attacks targeted websites of public and private organizations in the government sector, critical infrastructure and important services in countries that support Ukraine in the war with Russia. The suspects were arrested in Manacor on Mallorca and in Huelva and Seville in southern Spain.
The police published a video on the online platform X of a raid on the home of one of the suspects, in which a Soviet-era hammer-and-sickle flag was displayed on the wall.
The cyberattacks were organized by the hacker group NoName057(16), which was founded after Russia's invasion of Ukraine and is one of the most active hacker groups, the Guardia Civil said in a statement. In its founding manifesto, the group announced that it would "respond appropriately to the hostile and openly anti-Russian actions of Russophobic representatives of the West".
