The pro-Russian hacker group known as NoName has claimed responsibility for targeting the website of Raiffeisen Bank in Poland. In a post, the hackers declared that they had successfully shut down the official website of the bank as part of their cyber attack. The group also urged others to join their DDoS project and ended their message with a statement of victory.
However, as of now, the website of Raiffeisen Bank is accessible and functioning properly. The Cyber Express has reached out to the bank for comment on the claims made by the NoName hacker group and will update the report accordingly.
This is not the first time that NoName has targeted Polish websites. They have also claimed responsibility for attacks on the websites of Warsaw Metro, Bank Pekao S.A., and PKO Bank Polski. Additionally, the hackers named PFR Ventures as their latest victim. PFR Ventures is a major fund investor in the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region. It is important to note that the authenticity of these claims has not been independently verified.
NoName has been an active hacker group since 2022. Their main focus is on political issues, and they specifically target countries that have been supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. Poland, Norway, Sweden, and Lithuania are among the nations that have allegedly been targeted by NoName.
The group primarily carries out DDoS attacks, which involve overwhelming targeted websites with a massive amount of traffic in order to disrupt their services. These attacks serve as a form of retaliation against the targeted companies and nations.
According to a report by Bank Info Security, NoName057(16) coordinates with several subgroups to carry out their attacks. One of these groups is called DDosia, which provides instructions on how to use a custom tool available on GitHub.
It is important to approach this information with caution as the sources of the claims made by NoName have not been independently verified. The Cyber Express report is based on internal and external research obtained through various means. Users should exercise their own judgement and take responsibility for their reliance on this information.
In conclusion, the NoName hacker group has claimed responsibility for targeting the website of Raiffeisen Bank in Poland. They have also alleged attacks on other Polish websites and named PFR Ventures as their latest victim. The group focuses on political issues and primarily carries out DDoS attacks to disrupt the services of their targets. However, the authenticity of these claims has not been independently verified, and caution should be exercised when considering this information.
