NoName057(16) Upgrades DDoSia Software, Threatens European Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity experts at Sekoia.io have detected significant updates to the DDoSia software used by the notorious hacktivist group NoName057(16). The latest iteration introduces enhanced encryption mechanisms, posing a persistent threat in the cybersecurity landscape. The group continues to expand its influence and target European entities, particularly Ukraine, Finland, and Italy.
NoName057(16) has tailored the DDoSia software for users based on their location, with explicit VPN instructions for Russian users. This adaptation demonstrates the group's evolving tactics amid the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. The group's reach has grown through collaboration with other hacktivist collectives like Anonymous, KillNet, and XakNet. Their targets predominantly include government-related sectors, aiming to influence policy, with transportation and banking sectors also affected.
The group's command-and-control infrastructure has been under surveillance by Sekoia.io. Recent observations reveal updates to the DDoS tool, enhancing its compatibility with various processor architectures and operating systems. Despite challenges in maintaining stable C2 servers, NoName057(16) has diversified hosting locations globally to keep its operations running.
The persistent threat of NoName057(16) and its DDoSia software, now equipped with enhanced encryption, underscores the need for vigilance in European cybersecurity. As the group continues to evolve and collaborate, targeted entities must remain prepared and adapt their defenses accordingly.
