🚨India-Pakistan Cybertracker #1 🚨 There are at least 45 hacktivist groups that are engaging in cyber activities as a result of kinetic actions between India and Pakistan. Geopolitical flashpoints will now always trigger hacktivist activity. Of the 45 groups: 10 are aligned as pro-India and 35 are aligned as pro-Pakistan. I only included groups who had made declarations or targeted either country since April 22 2025. It is likely that more groups will join in as tensions increase, in particular I would expect to see more pro-Palestine hacktivists pivot into the conflict. Defacement and DDoS remain the most popular and prominent attack vectors. hopefully this doesn't get buried in the algorithm. #IndiaPakistanWar #IndiaPakistan #Pakistan #India #pakistanindiawar

🚨🚨RussiaUkrainewar Hacktivist #cybertracker edition 30. 🚨🚨 On the 3rd anniversary of full-Russian invasion of Ukraine I am sharing my latest cybertracker. TLDR: Russia-Ukraine war hacktivist activity continues, but groups have dropped from over 130 active down to 80. Daily attacks against Russia or for Russia continue daily, with DDoS still the main attack type. Claimed attacks against Operational Technology and the claimed use of ransomware have increased since mid-2024. Doxing remains popular when targeting Ukraine military and government officials. The line is blurred between information operations and hacktivist activity. The pro-Russian hacktivist civil and the Telegram purge have disrupted their operations. Pro-Ukraine groups, like IT Army Ukraine maintain persistent activity. The ‘convergence’ between pro-Russian and pro-Palestine hacktivists continues. There are additional insights and information on my Substack (I wont add the link here as X doesn't like that) #cybersecurity #Russia #Ukraine #UkraineWar

Hacktivist activity linked to geopolitical events won't be slowing down in 2025. We can expect more convergence between pro-russian and pro-palestine hacktivists. We will also continue to see new groups emerge, like Moscow Pentest.

Not surprisingly noname05716 has joined the new Arabic hacktivist collective Operation Sword of Justice as the hacktivist convergence continues. Noname05716 went from operating in isolation until in late 2023 they started teaming up with most hacktivist groups.
