A series of distributed-denial-of-service attacks shut down nine Danish hospitals' websites for a few hours on Sunday, but did not have any life-threatening impact on the medical centers' operations or digital infrastructure.

"Region H the hospitals' websites are down," it read, in Danish.

A few hours later, the health authority reported that all nine hospitals' websites were up and running again.

"Some hospitals in Denmark have been attacked for burning the Quran, and more will be attacked in the coming hours," the group wrote.

Anonymous Sudan, as the name would suggest, claims to be based in Sudan and affiliated with an earlier group of the same name that traces its roots to a 2019 military coup.

Last month, Anonymous Sudan took credit for a series of DDoS attacks against the websites of the German foreign intelligence service and the Cabinet of Germany, in support of Killnet.
