The notorious NoName057 ransomware group has allegedly executed a series of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on various German websites. The affected entities in this NoName057 ransomware attack include prominent organizations such as Talanx, the Federal Office of Logistics and Mobility, Hamburger Feuerkasse, and the German Customs Administration.
The threat actor’s announcement of the NoName057 DDoS attack, disseminated through various channels, points to specific web addresses associated with their targets.
The post indicates difficulties accessing these sites, accompanied by error messages like “ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED” and “ERROR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT.” The message suggests that NoName057 is claiming responsibility for disrupting the online presence of these organizations.

The Cyber Express has proactively reached out to the implicated organizations regarding the NoName057 ransomware attack. As of the time of writing, no official statements or responses have been received, casting uncertainty over the veracity of the claims made by the threat actor. Despite the alleged cyberattacks, the affected websites currently appear to be operational, showing no immediate signs of compromise.
Adding to the escalating concerns, NoName ransomware group continues its onslaught by claiming responsibility for a series of DDoS attacks on Ukrainian government websites. The targets include notable entities such as Accordbank, Zaporizhzhya Titanium-Magnesium Plant, State Tax Service, Central Interregional Tax Administration, Western Interregional Tax Administration, and the Main Directorate of the State Tax Service in Kyiv.
