"German Government, Airports, Banks Hit With Killnet DDoS Attacks"

After Berlin agreed to send its advanced Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, Russia-backed threat group Killnet retaliated with DDoS attacks aimed at Germany's government, banking, and airport sites.  Germany's BSI federal agency, which oversees information security, stated that the attacks caused some minor outages but otherwise did little damage.  BSI noted that currently, some websites are not accessible.  According to the BSI's assessment, the DDoS attacks should not affect the targeted companies' services.  Last fall, Killnet was behind similar DDoS attacks against US airports and has been escalating its nefarious cyber activities throughout Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
