"Unprecedented Cyberattacks Target French Government Agencies"

French government institutions have been targeted by cyberattacks of "unprecedented intensity" just months before the Paris Olympics, with several state bodies affected. The attacks, which are not currently attributable to Russia, have been contained, and a crisis cell has been activated to deploy countermeasures. Hacker groups, including one claiming to be Anonymous Sudan, have claimed responsibility for the attacks, with the government implementing filtering measures to mitigate the impact. The attacks come amid concerns about potential targeting of the Olympics and European Parliament elections, and follow a call to step up protection against sabotage and cyberattacks by Russia.

AO3 Faces Extended Downtime Amidst DDoS Attack On Fanfiction Platform

The popular fan fiction website Archive of Our Own (AO3) is currently offline due to a DDoS attack claimed by hacktivist group Anonymous Sudan. The attack is part of a campaign targeting U.S. organizations, but cybersecurity experts believe the group may be linked to Russia. AO3, which is run by a U.S. non-profit, has warned against taking the attacker's claims at face value. The group has demanded a ransom of $30,000 in Bitcoin and threatened to continue the attack for weeks. It is uncertain when AO3 will be back online, but the attack does not involve a data breach.

Microsoft Outages Caused by Cyberattacks and DDoS Attacks

Microsoft has identified a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack executed by "Anonymous Sudan," a cybercriminal group with alleged Russian ties, as the cause of the sporadic service disruptions affecting tens of thousands of users of its flagship office suite products in early June. The attackers were focused on "disruption and publicity" and likely used rented cloud infrastructure and virtual private networks to bombard Microsoft servers from so-called botnets of zombie computers around the globe. Microsoft said there was no evidence any customer data was accessed or compromised. The company has taken several steps to guard against future DDoS attacks.

Massive DDoS Attack Causes Microsoft Azure, Outlook, and OneDrive Disruptions

Microsoft has attributed the recent service outages of Azure, Outlook, and OneDrive to a DDoS attack by an unknown group called Storm-1359. The attack was likely carried out using rented cloud infrastructure, open proxies, and DDoS tools. While no customer data was accessed or compromised, the attacks temporarily impacted the availability of some services. Anonymous Sudan, a hacktivist group, has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but Microsoft has not explicitly linked Storm-1359 to Anonymous Sudan. KillNet, a Kremlin-affiliated collective, has also been linked to the attacks on healthcare entities hosted in Microsoft Azure.

Microsoft Blames Recent Cloud Outages on DDoS Attacks.

Microsoft has revealed that the outages of its 365 services and Azure Cloud portal in early June were caused by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack orchestrated by Anonymous Sudan.

The company has not linked the DDoS to the attacker, but has suggested that the group "appears to be focused on disruption and publicity." Microsoft has found no evidence that customer data was accessed or compromised.

Microsoft Blames DDoS Attacks for June Outlook and OneDrive Outages

Microsoft has confirmed that the June service outages for Outlook and OneDrive were caused by distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks carried out by Anonymous Sudan. The attacks were primarily designed to generate publicity for a threat actor named Storm-1359, and Microsoft believes the group likely relied on a combination of virtual private servers and rented cloud infrastructure to carry out the operation. The company has seen no evidence that customer data was accessed or compromised. Some cybersecurity researchers believe Anonymous Sudan is an offshoot of the Kremlin-affiliated Killnet gang, and the reference to Sudan is a false flag designed to mislead casual onlookers.

Microsoft Blames Cyberattacks for June Service Disruptions
