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.
