Dutch cyber authorities have said that several hospital websites in the Netherlands and Europe were likely targeted by a pro-Kremlin hacking group because of their countries' support for Ukraine
The UMCG hospital in the northern Dutch city of Groningen, one of the largest in the country, saw its website crash in a cyberattack last Saturday.
"This group announced DDoS attacks on among other things, hospitals helping Ukraine in its war against Russia," it said. Although reports say that Killnet threatened to target some 31 hospitals throughout the Netherlands, so far only the UMCG seems to have been affected. Hospitals in Britain, Germany, Poland, Scandinavia and the United States were also said to be targeted.
