Anonymous Sudan, a Russian-affiliated hacktivist group, has threatened a big cyber attack against the UK in response to air attacks in Yemen and support of Israel. According to recent updates on Telegram, the group claimed it has conducted an attack on the London Internet Exchange (LINX), an 850 member mutual routing and infrastructure organisation.

“Big attack on UK soon, in response to the air attacks in Yemen and unconditional support of the genocidal zionist regime Israel,” Anonymous Sudan wrote on its Telegram page on 13 January. Although, to date, the hackvist group's claim has not been verified.

Anonymous Sudan first came to notice at the beginning of 2023, and they are a very “loud” hacktivist entity attacking both anti-Russian targets and those with a pro- Islamic agenda. They are considered to be a conglomerate of hackers from different origins and ideologies that collaborate to take down websites typically using DDoS methods and tools.

The Anomymous Sudan group has been consistently active over Telegram and warned about their potential attacks before they happened and near real time updates on the attacks as they are carried out. Their attacks are happening every week somewhere around the world, and have proved capable of taking down websites of governments, banks, large enterprises, airports amongst other.

DDOS attacks are significant in terms of consumer usage, because you can’t get into a website, but it’s not a sophisticated attack. That means it can be carried out by anyone who can get access to the tools that enable numerous requests to a single website (such as bots farms).

The hackers analyse the bandwidth, capacity, of the websites they target by sending a certain amount of requests at the same time, and they ramp up until the point they see it collapses. This specific group is notorious for using very robust DDoS tools, with strong connections to Russian hacking groups who are currently leveraging these tools in their own attacks.

DDoS attacks can be prevented. It’s a matter of resources and risk management. The more you invest in the ability to monitor requests coming to the website, and if you have the ability to obtain more requests at once and sending a huge amount of requests won’t crash the website.
