DDoS attacks launched on British military targets.
A coalition of pro-Russian and pro-Palestinian hackers is launching weekly cyber-attacks on British military, intelligence and infrastructure agencies.
Known as the Holy League, is said to be made up of around 90 hacktivist collectives, with a mission to conduct cyberwarfare against the allies of Ukraine and Israel.
According to media reports, British government agencies have been repeatedly targeted in recent months, and last month, the group’s Telegram channel was used to claim responsibility for coordinated attacks on the websites of the British Army, Royal Navy, and the Office for Nuclear Security.
The majority of the attacks are unsophisticated distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) strikes.
