Android apps downloaded more than 30 million times were found to contain SpinOk malware. Swiss government sites were targeted with targeted distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks by pro-Russia hacking group NoName, and ransomware gang ALPHV claimed responsibility for stealing 80GB of data from Reddit. Video game company Blizzard Entertainment was the victim of a distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) cyber attack.
