MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The number of DDoS attacks on Russian state agencies increased during unauthorised protests in support of Alexei Navalny, the chief of Russia’s National Coordination Centre for Computer Incidents, Nikolay Murashov, said on Tuesday.
According to Murashov, the websites of the Foreign Ministry, the Labour Ministry, the Economic Development Ministry, the Prosecutors Office, and the Russian Guard were targeted. The head of the centre added the DDoS attacks occurred during the protests in Russian cities in January.
At the same time, Murashov said the cybersecurity centre had managed to “prevent disruptions to the official resources of Russia’s state authorities”.
Murashov additionally noted that some DDoS attacks were conducted from IP addresses registered in the United States.
