The official website of the European Parliament (@Europarl_EN) is under cyber attack. Pro-Russia hacking group Killnet says it has launched a DDoS attack against the portal , which is currently unreachable from the US.
The news was confirmed with a tweet by BetterCyber , a company that deals with computer security, posting images taken from the 'We are Killnet' profile, in Russian.
The same group close to the Kremlin has in the past hit the systems of several sites belonging to governments that condemned the invasion of Ukraine with similar attacks.
“The European Parliament is under a sophisticated cyber attack. A pro-Kremlin group has claimed responsibility. Our IT experts are reacting and protecting our systems. This, after we proclaimed Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. My answer: #SlavaUkraini (glory to Ukraine) », writes the president of the Eurochamber Roberta Metsola on Twitter.
