Threat Score
A pro‑Russia DDoS campaign attributed to the NoName057(16) group knocked multiple UK local council websites and several other organizations offline or degraded service over several days; some councils confirmed outages and the NCSC provided guidance. The report describes target lists distributed via Telegram, the group's use of automated DDoS tools, and past activity patterns, while noting that DDoS attacks are typically low in sophistication and primarily cause disruption rather than long‑term damage.
