This just just some random "senior official" from an unknown organization saying "must be russia"
- PeterisP 4y agoThe same operation has been doing DDoS attacks at various Russia-opponent-related targets for quite a long time, this is not a new unknown organization. However, yes, there doesn't seem to be a reason to assert that it is ordered by the Russian state (specific attributions e.g. to a particular agency or individuals have been made for certain operations, but generally it takes a lot of time and is done only in restrospective), it could be just a loose group of activists scattered around the world and sharing just a chat channel, this attack is unsophisticated enough to not require any specific resources or cooperation.
- laba 4y agoyes you are correct, the group behind it (that claimed the attack) are hacktivists doing DDoS, they themselves are not connected to the Russian government they've claimed multiple other similar attacks, but most of the time they are just spreading pro-war messages in their telegram
