Key Findings

On December 14, 2023, the pro-Russian hacktivist collective known as Anonymous Russia announced in its Telegram channel that it is preparing for a cyber war against NATO.
Anonymous Russia is known for its politically-motivated targeting; it typically conducts defacements and data leaks and launches Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against pro-Ukrainian targets.
The collective is unlikely to have the capability to conduct a highly-disruptive campaign against NATO targets of critical value, and any attacks are likely to have limited operational impact. However, ZeroFox cannot rule out that campaigns against NATO-aligned countries or entities could involve collaboration with more capable hacktivist groups.
