Global hacktivists caused little damage in DDoS attacks, but highlighted vulnerabilities in Seoul’s cyber infrastructure

The campaign came to light in South Korea after the pro-Russian hacktivist collective NoName057(16) took down the websites of the defense ministry and other government agencies, though initially it was unclear whether North Korea or Russia was behind the attacks.
