NCSC Warns of Russian Hacktivists Targeting UK

The UK NCSC warns of persistent, ideologically-motivated DDoS activity by Russian-aligned hacktivist group NoName057(16), active since March 2022 and targeting UK local government, NATO-affiliated entities, and operational technology; the alert describes use of the DDoSia tool (hosted on GitHub), coordination via Telegram, and recommends resilience measures such as rapid scaling, cloud-native architectures, and graceful degradation to protect essential services.
