Spanish police, acting on an FBI tip, arrested a man in Palencia suspected of close ties to pro‑Russia hacktivist groups CARR, Z‑Pentest and NoName057(16). Authorities allege he coordinated actions, provided operational support and helped a CARR-affiliated Ukrainian hacker flee to Russia; seized equipment and frozen cryptocurrency tied to alleged cybercrime. The report links CARR to prior attacks on critical national infrastructure—including water and energy SCADA systems—and notes sanctions and extraditions related to those operations.
