Cyberattack briefly disrupts Russian internet regulator and defense ministry websites

Russia's communications regulator Roskomnadzor and the Defense Ministry were hit by a large, multi-vector DDoS attack that briefly disrupted access to several government websites and monitoring infrastructure. The traffic reportedly originated from servers and botnets across Russia, the United States, China, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands; authorities said the attack was contained but some users continued to report access issues afterward.
