NoName057

NoName057 is a threat actor group known for its pro-Russian stance and execution of cyber-attacks with political motivations. In August 2023, the group made headlines when it launched Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against multiple Czech banks and the Czech stock exchange. These attacks were reportedly in response to the financial support provided by these institutions to Ukraine. The group's activities escalated further when they claimed responsibility for a series of cyber-attacks as retaliation for Finland joining NATO. Their targets included prominent organizations such as Komercni Banka, CSOB, Air Bank, Fio Banka, and Ceska sporitelna. The threat actor group continued its wave of cyber-attacks throughout 2023, targeting various entities associated with countries perceived to be opposing Russia. According to the CyberPeace Institute, third parties have attributed 924 attacks to NoName057, making them one of the most active pro-Russian hacker groups. Their activities extended beyond financial institutions, with the group claiming responsibility for ransomware attacks and DDoS attacks on various websites. Some of their notable targets included Talanx, the Federal Office of Logistics and Mobility, Hamburger Feuerkasse, and the German Customs Administration. In October 2023, the group expanded its range of targets to include government websites in the Czech Republic. The targeted sites included the Interior Ministry, police force, Prague Airport, and both the lower and upper houses of parliament. Despite the ongoing investigations and efforts to mitigate their activities, official responses from the affected organizations have been limited. This lack of information has led to uncertainty about the full extent of the damage caused by NoName057's attacks and the veracity of the claims made by the group.
