In particular, hackers attacked the Geneva airport website, which is the main one for diplomats and officials traveling to the UN headquarters in the city.
Switzerland’s National Cyber Security Center has announced a very high intensity of cyber attacks on government websites and the country’s online portals, behind which is the pro-Russian group NoName. About this on Tuesday, June 13, Reuters wrote.
In particular, the attack was carried out on the website of Geneva airport, parliament and federal administration.
It was noted that the cyber attack occurred as the parliament began preparing for a video message from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, scheduled for Thursday, June 15.
“Parliamentary services are doing everything in their power to ensure that Thursday’s live broadcast goes smoothly,” the Center added.
Later, hackers attacked the Geneva airport site, which is a hub for diplomats and officials heading to the UN.
It was noticed that the main government websites in Switzerland were subjected to a DDoS attack, where the servers were overloaded by an artificially created wave of requests from different places.
The pro-Russian group NoName admitted they attacked the website of the Swiss parliament and said they did so in response to its joining the European Union’s latest sanctions package against Russia.
Recall that Russian hackers attacked the website of Prague City Hall.
Also earlier, the largest German manufacturer of military equipment and ammunition, the Rheinmetall concern, received a cyber attack.
