Russian Cyber Army

Also known asRussian Cyber Army

Russian Cyber Army is a pro-Russian hacktivist group assessed in reporting as highly active in cyberattacks against Ukraine, described as the second most active group in a three-month period of observed activity. The group’s operations are characterized primarily by disruptive activity (notably DDoS), aligned with broader Russian-affiliated hacktivist efforts targeting Ukrainian government and other sectors. Reporting notes Russian Cyber Army and NoName057(16) as operating in parallel since late 2022; NoName057(16) is described as having developed the DDoSia tool, with allegations that some participants were connected to Russian state structures and received funding from them. In the referenced Ukraine-focused reporting, the most targeted sector overall was Ukrainian government (nearly half of attacks), with technology and transportation also significantly impacted; DDoS comprised the majority of incidents (68.1%), with defacements and data breaches also present in the broader threat landscape.
