Every morning at roughly the same time, a Russian hacker group known as NoName057(16) carries out distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on European financial institutions, government websites or transportation services. Last week, the group claimed responsibility for disrupting the websites of several banks and financial institutions in the Czech Republic and Poland, which it considers hostile to the Russian state because of its support to Ukraine.

Like other pro-Kremlin hacktivist gangs, including Killnet or the Cyber Army of Russia, NoName057(16) orchestrates relatively simple and short-lived DDoS incidents with the help of hundreds of volunteers. The goal is to disrupt daily life, even for a few minutes. But there are some things that set this group apart, researchers say.

In the Russian cybercrime landscape, NoName057(16) is a "lone wolf," according to Pascal Geenens, the director of cyberthreat intelligence at the cybersecurity firm Radware. The group doesn't make any alliances with other hackers and mostly relies on the custom-made DDoSia toolkit to carry out its attacks.
