This is revenge for helping Ukraine.
A group of pro-Russian hackers hacked the website of the National Assembly of France, according to POLITICO.
“We decided to repeat our recent trip to France, where the protests against Emmanuel Macron, who decided to ignore the French and continue to “serve” Ukrainian neo-Nazis, are still not abating,” the hacker group NoName057(16) said in a message on the Telegram channel.
Representatives of the National Assembly told franceinfo that they could not yet confirm that the cyber attack was carried out by Russian hackers, but were working on identification.
The group of hackers also boasted on Telegram that the site “cannot recover from our attack.” They also claimed to have targeted the Senate website, but it was still accessible as of Monday afternoon.
The pro-Kremlin group is behind a series of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks in recent months, including against Polish airports and e-government websites after Warsaw delivered Leopard tanks to Ukraine, and against resources in Denmark. Czech Republic and Lithuania.
In particular, according to the hacker group, today the website of the British private railway company Heathrow Express was subjected to a DDoS attack, as well as the websites of the city councils of Alnwick and Waltham Abbey in Great Britain. As the hackers reported, these actions are a response to the military support that Britain provides to Ukraine.
