Re "Noname Ddosia": It's from the context, if you know your recent infosec history:

"Jüngst wurden damit auch Server von Schweizer Regierungsstellen während des Weltwirtschaftsforums angegriffen – als Retourkutsche für die Teilnahme des ukrainischen Präsidenten Wolodimir Selenski. Eine russlandnahe Gruppierung bekannte sich zum Angriff."

(translation: "Servers of Swiss government offices were recently attacked during the World Economic Forum - as a retaliation for the participation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. A group close to Russia claimed responsibility for the attack.")

But it's not clear to me that's right, isn't WEF in the summer?

Ah, they've been ongoing, here's the earlier one: https://www.ncsc.admin.ch/ncsc/en/home/aktuell/im-fokus/2023...
