The public prosecutor of the Confederation launched an arrest warrant against three prorussian hackers of the ‘noname’ group. The pirates attacked federal sites, especially during the video address of Ukrainian President Zelensky before the Parliament in June 2023.
After several DDOS attacks perpetrated against the websites of various federal authorities in June 2023, the public prosecutor of the Confederation (MPC) opened criminal proceedings against unknown. The pro-Russian group ‘Noname057 (16)’ claimed the attacks, which also took place during the visit of Alain Berset to kyiv or at the time of the Peace Conference in Bürgenstock.
As part of investigations carried out internationally, to which the MPC and the Federal Police have contributed in a decisive manner, several members of the group could be identified in the spring of 2025, the MPC wrote in a press release. The latter extended the criminal procedure to three key people from the group and launched an arrest warrant against them.
During a joint action coordinated by Europol, police interventions took place Tuesday in several countries to carry out searches, to seizures of computers as well as to arrests. For the time being, no computer involved in the network or any domiciled person in the country have been identified in Switzerland, specifies the MPC.
