The Czech Republic was attacked by a record number of hackers last year, most of them Russian-speaking

The Czech Republic said that the number of cyberattacks last year again reached a record high.

As reported by Ukrinform, this was reported by Radio Prague International.

The Czech National Directorate for Cyber ​​and Information Security (NÚKIB) registered 268 such incidents. This is six more than a year ago.

It is noted that thus, the number of such attacks is increasing every year.

«The most common type of attack – is DDoS attacks. Behind most of such attacks are Russian-speaking groups hacker groups, whose DDoS campaigns became most noticeable after Russia's invasion of Ukraine», – said NÚKIB Director Lukasz Kintr.

In a DDoS attack, computers controlled by hackers overload the attacked site with a large number of requests, knocking it out of service.

This method is one of the most frequently used in cyberwar, which is running parallel to the war in Ukraine.
