Proximus, a Belgian telecommunications operator, experienced a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) cyberattack on Wednesday morning, claimed by the pro-Russian hacker collective NoName057(16). The attack targeted Proximus’ website and its subsidiary Scarlet, flooding servers with excessive traffic to disrupt accessibility. While the assault began around 07:20 AM, technicians detected the abnormal surge by 07:30 AM and deployed countermeasures. The impact was minimal: systems remained operational, though some international visitors may have faced temporary access issues. No data was compromised, as DDoS attacks focus on service disruption rather than theft. Proximus’ spokesperson emphasized the attack’s primitive nature, confirming no effect on customer services or internal operations. The incident aligns with a broader campaign, as other Belgian entities (e.g., CP Bourg, Comines-Warneton commune) were also targeted.
