DDoS Attacks in Spain
In the wake of Spanish Authorities arresting three individuals associated with NoName057(16), the group declared a "holy war" on Spain. The call to arms encourages all pro-Russian hacker groups to join under the hashtag #FuckGuardiaCivil. Over the past two days, NETSCOUT observed a significant increase in claimed attacks on Spanish websites, coinciding with the call to arms in retaliation for the arrests made. Despite the surge in hacktivist targeting and claims of victory, the daily DDoS attacks manifest as a normal day for Spanish network operators.
