In Spain, three people have been detained on suspicion  of attacks on government websites and critical infrastructure of states that help Ukraine in the fight against Russian occupiers.

Spanish police released footage of one of the searches and said the hackers were caught in Mallorca, Huelva and Seville, but did not name them,  Reuters reports .

Police believe the hackers are part of the hacktivist group NoName057(16), which became active after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “In its manifesto, the group promises to ‘mirror-react to the hostile and openly anti-Russian actions of Western Russophobes,'” the police statement said.
