Pro-Russian hackers temporarily take MI5 website offline with cyber attack. Attack follows warning over targeting of Britain and other countries supporting Ukraine in escalating war
Hackers attacked MI5’s public website, briefly causing it to go offline as the Ukrainian conflict continued to escalate.
A group called Anonymous Russia claimed responsibility for the outage on Friday morning, publishing records showing server errors at around 9am local time.
The attack in question was a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack which is found to have been launched by a group named Anonymous Russia after announcing it had launched the attack on the encrypted Telegram messaging app.
