Noname

NoName, a threat actor group known for its cyberattacks on various national entities, has been intensifying its activities over the past year. In March 2023, it was reported that NoName was potentially being considered for acquisition by Akamai and other companies for hundreds of millions of dollars, but the $450 million deal did not materialize until May 2024. The group has claimed responsibility for multiple cyberattacks against French entities, including the French Senate and the National Center for Space Research of France. Additionally, they have announced attacks on Denmark and Finland, focusing particularly on critical sectors like the Energy Industry Association in Finland. Noname Security, a provider of comprehensive API security solutions, has partnered with Wiz, a cloud security platform, to enhance customers' security posture. This partnership aims to provide complete visibility, context, and control of infrastructure hosting mission-critical and highly sensitive APIs to minimize and remediate risk. Noname's API Security Platform ties together all critical capabilities in API security, offering a modern and flexible solution. The company's innovative approach has earned them recognition and inclusion in an esteemed list. The pro-Russia hacker group NoName has also claimed responsibility for a DDoS attack that took the French Senate's website offline. The group's activities have raised concerns about the effectiveness of cybersecurity defenses in countries like Denmark and Finland. With Denmark now appearing on NoName’s list of targets, authorities and cybersecurity specialists are urged to remain vigilant to protect their digital infrastructure and mitigate the risk of future cyberattacks. The NoName ransomware group has targeted multiple websites in Denmark, demonstrating their ongoing threat to global cybersecurity.
