The Russian government shared a list of 17,576 IP addresses allegedly used to launch distributed denial-of-service attacks targeting Russian organizations and their networks.
"The National Coordinating Center for Computer Incidents in the context of massive computer attacks on Russian information resources recommends taking measures to counter threats to information security," the Russian government agency said in a notice.
While the list of IPs does not provide info on the attackers' identity, the list of domains points to European Union and US organizations, including the sites of the FBI and CIA. Another domain points to a Google Docs document containing instructions on how to use the open-source Low Orbit Ion Cannon DDoS attack tool on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices to target Russian resources in a joint DDOS attack.
While the Russian govt agency didn't provide evidence to support its claims, the warning aligns with Ukraine's Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announcing the creation of an "IT army" to support the country's "Fight on the cyber front."
The list includes over 30 targets, such as Russian government agencies, IP addresses, storage devices, and mail servers, as well as state-owned banks, large corporations supporting Russian critical infrastructure, and high-profile Russian tech giants like the Yandex Russian search engine and email portal.
You may be very tempted to join Ukraine's IT Army after watching the Russian army invade Ukraine and get involved in cyberattacks against Russian orgs.
