Risky Bulletin: Russia starts blocking DoH and DoT

Russian users report blocks on DoH and DoT servers, including Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 and Google 8.8.8.8, in an apparent censorship crackdown.

Russian internet users began reporting failures connecting to DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS servers, suggesting a government crackdown on the two privacy protocols. The blocks reportedly cover Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 and Google's 8.8.8.8 resolvers; Roskomnadzor has not officially confirmed the action. The agency tested a similar block in March on Beeline's network and had named DoH for blocking as early as 2021. The bulletin also briefly notes state-sponsored phishing of EU officials, a DDoS against Norway's Digdir, the ReliaQuest/ShinyHunters dispute, and older ransomware and breach disclosures.

Large DDoS attack knocks Norwegian public services offline

A large DDoS attack on Norwegian IT partner Vivicta disrupted 10 government services, including ID-porten used by over 4.5 million users, for 30+ hours.

Norway's Digitalisation Agency (Digdir) said a distributed denial-of-service attack that began Monday targeted the infrastructure of its IT partner Vivicta and lasted around 30 hours at varying intensity, with some services still affected Tuesday. Disrupted services included ID-porten, a national digital identity gateway used by more than 4.5 million people, which many government services and parts of the health sector, such as online pharmacies and the electronic prescription system, rely on for authentication. Digdir said attackers did not gain access to sensitive information, and it was the third DDoS incident since June, reportedly two to three times larger than the previous one. Attribution and possible links between the incidents remain unclear.
