The group of Filorussi Noname057 (16) group has again affected several sites of Italian institutions: among the objectives of the new attack also the website of the Superior Council of the judiciary (CSM) and the portal of the Lombardy Region.
The Filorussi hacker group Noname057 (16) they still affect in Italy. It is a new move within the Cyber-Tattacchi campaign with sites of Italian companies, institutions and local authorities, which began on February 17th for “punish Italy with DDOS missiles to websites “, as the collective on the Telegram channel.
As the hackers themselves confirm on their social channels, not only on Telegram But also from their X account, at 08:03 this morning the new DDOS attacks did not limit themselves to Put down the sites of several municipalities in Italythat of Bionaz in Valle d’Aosta, that of the city and the Municipality of Pescara, but the web portal of the Superior Council of the Judiciary (CSM)that is, the self -government organ of the judiciary. The same that the recent reform presented Meloni government, and approved by the Chamber in January, would like to modify, despite the opposition of the Italian magistrates.
What we know about the latest hacker attacks
At the time when we are writing this article, at 10:11, any attempt to access the CSM website is in vain. When you click on the link that should refer to the institutional website, it opens in fact An error page With the message “The Page you are Looking for is Unavailable. Please, Try Again Later”.
In reality, the ddos attacks this morning follow the trail of those performed yesterday, February 27, against Other sites of Italian institutions. Always on his social channels, the group Noname057 (16) He announced that he had targeted the portals of different regions, such as Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Umbria, LombardyMunicipalities, including Ravenna, Parma and Brescia, but also that of the National Order of Journalists.
How Ddos attacks work
As we explained here, the DDOS attacks (Distributed denial of service) manage to fictitiously multiply the access to a site up to Crash it and block the access of real people’s access. When this happens with banks sites, such as the attack on Intesa Sanpaolo, the disservices affect thousands of people.
Just take a look at the long list of struck portals so far to understand that most likely Noname057 (16) chooses the objectives randomly. The hacker group born in 2022 with the declared mission of defend the interests of Russia He puts his attacks regularly regularly, even in Italy, but rarely these cause significant damage. So far their intent does not seem to steal data or damage institutions but create disservices to citizens and institutions.
