The Russian hacker group Killnet claimed responsibility for the cyber-attack, saying it was in response to Vilnius’ decision to ban the transport of sanctioned goods from the Russian mainland to Kaliningrad.
Lithuanian state and private institutions accepted cyber attack denial of services (DDOS), said the national cyber security center of the Baltic country in a statement released by the Ministry of Defense.
The Russian hacker group Killnet claimed responsibility for the cyber-attack, saying it was in response to Vilnius’ decision to ban the shipment of sanctioned goods from the Russian mainland to the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, warning of further cyber-attacks.
“Attacks are very likely of similar or greater intensity “to continue in the coming days, especially in the transport, energy and financial sectors,” the Lithuanian center said.
Secure networks used by state institutions were among those affected, he added.
“The attack will continue until Lithuania lifts the blockade “, a spokesman for the Killnet team warned Reuters. “We have dismantled 1652 internet resources. And that so far. “
