Websites belonging to several state intelligence agencies across the former Eastern Bloc are online and functioning despite attempted distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks from a pro-Kremlin group over the weekend.
The hacking group Killnet, which for months has targeted government agencies and companies that criticize Russia or support Ukraine, listed the sites for the intelligence services of Estonia, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, and Moldova on its Telegram channel, suggesting it had successfully targeted them.
However, any outages if they occurred appear to have been extremely brief and the sites are now all functioning normally.
The group, which has not displayed any sophisticated capabilities since emerging in February, primarily aims to target websites and organizations that will garner media attention.
