Cyber ​​attack on British royal family website

British The royal family Sources allege that Shahi Website cyber attack titled ‘Denial of Service Attack’.

King CharlesRoyal.uk, the website that provides official information about Queen Camilla and her family, was down for around 90 minutes from 10am on Sunday (October 1).

A denial-of-service attack means a website is ‘bombarded’ or overwhelmed with traffic, causing the website to stop working, the sources explained.

Although it is described as an attack, it is not the same as a hacking event in which the responsible party successfully enters a website and thereby compromises (or makes the website insecure).

In Sunday’s attack, neither the content nor the system of the royal website could be accessed.

The website is now operating as normal and an additional security check is in place for users visiting it.

This website provides up-to-date information about the King and Queen, as well as historical information about royal residences and art.

Sources told news agency PA that it is currently unknown who is responsible for the cyber attack.

Russian hacker group Clint claimed responsibility for the attack, posting about it on its Telegram channel. However, it has not been confirmed whether this same group was behind it or not.

In August Great Britain The intelligence services of the United States had tracked down evidence linking the 2021 cyber attack on the Election Commission to the Russians.

The attack exposed the data of 40 million UK voters and was not traced until October 2022.

Former GCHQ director Sir David Omond told BBC Radio Four that ‘Moscow would be number one on the suspect list’, while Sir Richard Dearlow, the former head of MI6, said Russia was ‘one on the list of suspects’. Will be at the top by miles.’

“The Russians and I’m pointing at them in particular because they’ve been interfering in the democratic election process for a number of years,” Omand said. Think about the 2016 US election, then the French election and then the German election, even our own 2019 election.’
