Europol-led global operation takes down pro-Russian cybercrime network
A coordinated international operation has hit the infrastructure of a pro-Russian cybercrime network linked to a string of denial of service attacks targeting Ukraine and its allies, the European Union 's police agency Europol announced Wednesday. Codenamed Eastwood, the operation targeted the so-called NoName057(16) group, which was identified last month by Dutch authorities as being behind a series of denial-of-service attacks on several municipalities and organizations linked to a NATO summit in the Netherlands. Europol said that the cybercrime network also was involved in attacks in Sweden, Germany and Switzerland. The police agency said the international operation 'led to the disruption of an attack-infrastructure consisting of over one hundred computer systems worldwide, while a major part of the group's central server infrastructure was taken offline.' Judicial authorities in Germany issued six arrest warrants for suspects in Russia, two of them accused of being the main leaders of the group, Europol said. Five of them were identified on Europol's Europe's Most Wanted website. One suspect was placed under preliminary arrest in France and another detained in Spain, Europol said. In the United States, the Federal Bureau of Investigation was involved in the operation. Europol said members of the cybercrime group initially targeted Ukrainian institution, 'but have shifted their focus to attacking countries that support Ukraine in the ongoing defence against the Russian war of aggression, many of which are members of NATO.' Law enforcement authorities in countries involved in the operation contacted hundreds of people believed to support the group to inform them of the crackdown and their alleged liability for its actions. 'Individuals acting for NoName057(16) are mainly Russian-speaking sympathisers who use automated tools to carry out distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Operating without formal leadership or sophisticated technical skills, they are motivated by ideology and rewards,' Europol said.

Fifa's faulty online exam costs wannabe football agents a one-year delay in qualifying
Those wanting to qualify as football agents are being subjected to delays of up to 12 months due to technical problems with Fifa 's online exam. Rather than attend an exam in person, regulations introduced at the start of 2025 mean candidates must now complete a test consisting of 20 multiple choice questions. Candidates pay $100 (or its equivalent in Euros or Sterling) to take the test, with the changes brought in to ensure more consistency in cost. The Guardian has been contacted by a number of candidates from a range of countries, including the United Kingdom, who have complained that they've not been able to complete the test due to technical issues. Candidates are reported to have been asked to download software prior to their test but problems with the software meant they were short on time to answer the questions or found that some of the answers had not even been recorded. A letter from a Niger-based candidate to Fifa claimed that the candidate had tried to disconnect and reconnect to resolve the issue but that the process had taken over 25 minutes to complete. 'Once I was allowed to resume, there were only about 10 minutes remaining on the exam,' the candidate revealed. 'On July 3, 2025, I received my results and was surprised to see that I had failed with a score of 11 out of 20. However, among the nine questions marked as incorrect, seven were shown as blank, even though I clearly remember answering them before submission, one displayed a choice that I am certain I never selected, and it does not match the answer I intended to choose.' It is reported that some candidates were able to resit the exam on 30 June but that many will have to wait until next year, with no right to appeal. A UK candidate, who had paid the full fee and suffered the technical glitch, said: 'It is particularly frustrating to now see my application rejected without any clarification, despite having fulfilled all requirements, acted diligently, and paid the full registration fee. 'This disparity raises serious concerns regarding consistency and equal treatment.'

Derby city centre safe despite shop attack, say police
A senior police officer has insisted Derby city centre is safe despite an attack on a shop in broad people in masks and black clothing targeted Ramsdens Pawnbrokers in St Peter's Street at about 13:45 BST on Monday.A large window was damaged as a number of shoppers looked on and while no-one was injured, staff were left shaken, police to BBC Radio Derby, Supt Rebecca Webster, who oversees city centre policing, said: "I do believe the city is safe. There is a lot of good work going on." Adam Marsh, who works at Quad in the city centre, said: "We've seen an increase in rough sleepers, particularly violent rough sleepers who we have had an issue with."We have certainly seen more anti-social behaviour in the city centre but that has gone hand-in-hand with the Market Hall opening and bringing in lots of new people."Perhaps consideration needs to be made into bringing some sort of reassuring presence into the city."Responding to criticism of policing in the city, Supt Webster, said: "I do believe it is safe. "There is a lot of good work going on and a lot of good work that takes place that doesn't get publicised as much unfortunately."We carry out numerous stop searches, there are significant arrests for highlighted crimes, I believe it is getting better." 'Unprecedented demand' However she admitted the brazenness of the attack was unusual."Yes I am surprised by it but throughout all my years in policing I am glad I am surprised because I wouldn't want it normalised," she said."My family live and work in Derby so I want it to be a safe place for them as well."She said there were "approximately 15" police officers and PCSOs assigned to patrol the city centre but shifts meant there would be about five at any one time, depending on other pressures. But she pointed to "unprecedented demand" with nearly 1,500 emergency calls last weekend - more than on New Year's said: "In relation to visible patrols, I absolutely accept and understand why the community and public feel that is what is needed."We are working hard to achieve that but we cannot be everywhere 24 hours a day."We have finite resource but we are working hard to achieve the best results we can with the resources available."Police have renewed their appeals for information on the attack and said they were working with the city council to review CCTV.
