KillNet, Anonymous Sudan, and Pinchy Spider (a.k.a. REvil) reportedly announced a large-scale attack aimed against European and US financial institutions due to be launched on 16 June 2023. The announcement was made in a video distributed through the official Telegram channel of Anonymous Sudan.

The first target will allegedly be the SWIFT payment system with the intention to “paralyze it.” This campaign appears to be a collaboration between the three known threat groups. While Killnet actors are known for their DDoS attacks, Killmilk, the group’s leader, stated this will not be a DDoS attack. Anonymous Sudan is not known for advanced attacks of this magnitude; however, Pinchy Spider, the group behind REvil ransomware, is a quite advanced actor.

Killnet stated “Nothing will save you, and this is not a warning – I’m just informing you. You have not encountered such problems yet.” and “This is not a DDoS attack, games are over. “No money – no weapons – no Kyiv regime” – this formula will work.” An Anonymous Sudan spokesperson added “Many European banks will be targeted and we will hit without mercy.”

These attacks appear to be in protest of the West’s financial and military support to Ukraine.
