NATO site "laid" by CyberBerkut

It seems that this week will be remembered as the most saturated in the number of cyber attacks on the state resources of various countries. Earlier, the media reported that various Russian sites were subjected to DDoS attacks, including the Central Bank, Channel One, the Russia channel and the Russian president’s resource kremlin. A few hours ago, it became known that this time NATO web resources were under attack by a DDoS attack: nato.int and Cyber ​​Center ccdcoe.org, which went offline and remain there at the time of writing this post. But unlike attacks on Russian resources, responsibility for which no one took, this time the responsible persons made themselves known.



The CyberBerkut website contains the message “CyberBerkut Attacks NATO”, in which the group takes responsibility for the operation. The report says that the cyber attack is connected with the possible actions of the NATO bloc on the territory of Ukraine.

We, the CyberBerkut, declare that today at 18:00 we launched an attack on NATO resources:
ccdcoe.org
nato.int
nato-pa.int

It can be concluded that, most likely, most of the various DDoS attacks conducted this week are in one way or another connected with the crisis in Ukraine and the clash of interests between Russia, the new government of Ukraine and the EU & US countries. It seems that the clash of interests has moved into an open phase in cyberspace. The press service of Channel One noted that the attack on their website was from Kiev . As for the CyberBerkut resource, then, judging by the name, it represents a certain cyber group of the former special unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine “Berkut”, many of whose employees later received Russian passports and moved to Russia. According to WHOIS information, the website was registered quite recently, on March 3, 2014, and operates on the network owned by CloudFlare CDN . On the site itself is posted very scant information about who actually represents this organization.
