A pro-Russian DDoS campaign hit Danish websites in the lead-up to the 2025 municipal and regional council elections, creating disruption and political pressure. The operation was attributed to NoName057(16), which was named as the group behind the series of attacks. The repeated targeting suggests a coordinated effort rather than isolated noise. The activity mattered because it was used to attract public attention during a sensitive election period.
