CyberBerkut

CyberBerkut (Russian: КиберБеркут, Ukrainian: КіберБеркут) is a modern organized group of pro-Russian hacktivists. The group became locally known for a series of publicity stunts and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on Ukrainian government, and western or Ukrainian corporate websites. By 2018, this group was accused by western intelligence agencies, such as National Cyber Security Centre (United Kingdom) of being linked to the GRU, providing plausible deniability.

The group emerged after the dissolution of special police force "Berkut" that became notorious for its violent repression used during the EuroMaidan demonstrations. The group is anonymous.[citation needed] Their proclaimed goals are fighting against neo-fascism, neo-nationalism and arbitrary power in Ukraine.[citation needed] To further this aim, CyberBerkut activists targeted the "Right Sector" IT resources.[citation needed] CyberBerkut targets included NATO, and its allies.

The group also publishes pro-Donetsk People's Republic videos. In one of them it is claimed that Ukrainian security forces are living under a "Jewish occupation".
