CYBER THREAT: Russian Hacktivists increasingly targeting Hospitals – Analysis
There are mounting reports that Russian Hacktivists are increasingly targeting Hospitals and Government Departments globally.
Cybersecurity researchers said this week that they have observed the pro-Russia hacking group known as KillNet increasingly launch distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks targeting healthcare organizations since November.
KillNet and affiliate hacktivist group appeared on the Cyber threat-map soon after Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and specialises in DDoS attacks against Government Departments, Blue-chip Corporates and lately Hospitals.
