Pro-Russian Hacktivist Group Claims 6600 Attacks Targeting Europe

**Executive summary:** The Orange Cyberdefense Security Navigator 2025 report outlines that pro‑Russian hacktivist group Noname has carried out roughly 6,600 mostly DDoS attacks since August 2022—predominantly against European nations—using volunteer-driven ‘DDoSia’ tactics, cryptocurrency incentives, and increasingly targeting OT systems; the activity is ideologically aligned with Russia but shows no confirmed state sponsorship and demonstrates hybridization with financially motivated cybercrime.
