So called 'supportive of Russian' hacking bunch Killnet brought down various Lithuanian government and corporate sites with a significant DDoS assault on Monday, two days subsequent to advance notice Vilnius that inability to unblock the railroad and street passage to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad would bring about such an assault.

 

The programmers boasted that they had gone after north of 1,000 Lithuanian sites. Those apparently disconnected on Monday or encountering hardships incorporated the nation's State Tax Inspectorate, Integrated System of Administrative Services, Central State Archive, the city sites of Vilnius and Kaunas, the Lithuanian site of Swedish telecom Telia, and significant bookkeeping specialist co-op B1. Lithuania's network safety office professed to have noticed an expansion in DDoS assaults beginning on Friday focusing on government organizations, transportation administrations, and the monetary area.

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda multiplied down on the barricade on Sunday, pronouncing "it is totally evident that Lithuania must and will carry out EU sanctions" in a Facebook post precluding the chance of "passages" or "conciliation of Russia."
