🚨Iran-US/Israel war Cybertracker #3 🚨
There are 84 hacktivist groups engaged in cyber attacks - with hack and leak and DDoS the most common
Pro-Russian groups have joined in more numbers
Overall - Remain Alert Not Alarmed
Maintain strong Situational Awareness
Before there is any speculation. This "hacker" goes by "daggerelite" probably is an Aussie kid.
They have a Reddit page, which should be all the evidence we need to stop speculation of any state espionage. Hacktivist or crime activity

@MalwareTechBlog The beauty of the modern geopolitical motivated hacktivist is that they don't even have to do anything cyber related to get the information distortion benefits.
It was very clear the pro-Russians were clout chasing with their claims.
Iran linked hackers are being claimed by French authorities, interesting that no pro-Iran group has claimed the attacks for psyop/info op value.
French authorities on Monday accused Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of a cyberattack sabotaging refrigeration systems at around 700 French grocery stores last month, causing what it said were extensive food losses and at least 15 fires. https://t.co/yzD5UJP01o

"Sir, we spent our entire security budget on a vibe-code, tokenmaxxed security tool... but, the threat actors asked the engineer for access and we have now lost our entire database"
🇪🇺 UPDATE: Nine non-EU countries have aligned themselves with the EU's largest-ever sanctions listing targeting Russia's military-industrial complex.
The European Council confirmed on November 3 that the following countries have joined the sanctions decision:
🇦🇱 Albania
🇧🇦 Bosnia and Herzegovina
🇮🇸 Iceland
🇱🇮 Liechtenstein
🇲🇩 Moldova
🇲🇪 Montenegro
🇲🇰 North Macedonia
🇳🇴 Norway
🇺🇦 Ukraine
The measures target 1,569 individuals and entities, including 826 Russian companies and 743 executives linked to Russia's military-industrial complex.
The companies supply critical components for Russian missiles, drones and military aircraft, including semiconductors, radar equipment, communications systems and navigation technology.
According to the EU, more than half of the listings target supply chains supporting Russian ballistic missile production.
WHAT'S NEW?
The sanctions themselves were adopted on October 12, 2026.
The November 3 announcement confirms that nine additional European countries have committed to aligning their national policies with the EU decision, extending the coordinated international pressure on Russia's defence industry.
This is an expansion of international alignment with existing sanctions, NOT a new EU sanctions package.
You have to understand that NoName057(16) is at the top of their game, the ability to manipulate the information space can be just as impactful and disruptive as a DDoS attack.
Hacktivists will remain an ever-present factor on the threat spectrum.
@shakirov2036@joetidy@mikko@martin_u@PaulinaOkunyte Sorry, I commented on your other post.
Its confusing which is why we can be confident they didnt do it. They havw scrambled to get that credibility and reputation after that cyberpulse article.
Good write up BTW 😀
@shakirov2036@joetidy@PaulinaOkunyte I just saw this. My guy, I have been reporting on hacktivists since 2022. Dont confuse my lack of word count because I dont pay must for inaccuracy. I made it clear it was not likely them from the outset.
Hacktivist activity, especially from Pro-Russian groups is just as much about the information operations activity as it is the hacking part.
Don't disregard them as "skids" but dont over inflate their claims either.
Its a nuanced part of the landscape
By blindly saying that Noname05716 and Z Pentest did the Danfoss cyber attacks is causing more disruption than they did to those fridges.
You are weaponising their claim and continuing to degrade the information space.
They took advance of hype and are getting the reward
@mikko They are taking credit. Not likely to have been them. Regardless the effect is still the same, the information operations benefit is still there Regardless of them actually doing the attacks
Swans: cause the biggest impact to AFL reputation in years.
Players under criminal investigation.
Another player now charged with drug offences.
AFL punishment: the most prime time games in 2027 and the equal 11th easiest draw.
Make it make sense @tommorris32@1116sen
As of several hours ago - NoName057(16) and by extension Z-Pentest have claimed the recent fridge attacks in Europe.
However, I am not convinced it was them, instead they may be claiming the activity after analysts posted it could be them.
