Daily Dark Web

Q3: How do you decide which organizations or sectors to focus on?

"We devote a lot of time to analytics and goal intelligence."

From an analytical point of view, this is partially true. Initially, the group was known for extensive reconnaissance. However, they reuse targets for years, even if servers have moved, and addresses have disappeared.

Q4: How do you distinguish your group from others working in the same field?

"We are unique in that, for the first time on the Darknet, we have created a hacker crowdsourcing system, we have organized attacks in such a way that thousands of real people participate in them"

Not true. #Anonymous was using #LOIC and #HOIC for crowdsourced #DDoS a bunch of years ago. It is not an uncommon context, when it comes to ideologically driven threat actors.

Q5: What message are you trying to convey through your actions?

"we are not servers or software code, we are an ideology carried and shared by living people. An idea cannot be killed."

Sounds a lot like #Anonymous rhetoric again.

Q6: How do you respond to allegations that your actions affect civilians or unrelated organizations?

"We are fighting for truth and justice, and people understand this, no matter how much dirt they try to pour on us."

Not sure how much a one-man regional janitor and craftsman services company in Baden Baden, Germany contributed to the support of Ukraine, but the DDoS attacks on December 30, 2025 were certainly not an unrelated organization that was attacked due to improper target selection?

Q9: Are your actions driven more by ideology, strategy, or opportunity?

"We are driven by the ideology of justice."

I'd argue that NoName is no different than many other threat actors, driven by opportunism.

Q10: Is there anything that you would like to bring directly to a global audience?

"Join our DDoSia Project."

Please don't, you will participate in cyber criminal activity.

Another anecdote about their target selection was written up by my colleague and me on a #Blog post at $dayjob. Please check the section on "Intentional Targeting Automation Error?"
