Russia-aligned hacktivists persistently target key public and private organizations in the Netherlands with distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, causing access problems and service disruptions. The situation was acknowledged via a statement by the country’s National Cyber Security Center (NCSC), part of the Dutch Ministry of Justice. “This week, several Dutch organizations have been targeted by large-scale DDoS attacks,” reads the NCSC announcement.

“The DDoS attacks are directed at both Dutch and other European organizations. Within the Netherlands, both public and private entities are being attacked.” The NCSC noted that the attacks were claimed by the hacktivist group named NoName057(16) on the threat actor’s Telegram channel.
