In October 2024, the National Office for Cyber ​​and Information Security (NÚKIB) recorded forty-seven cyber incidents in Czechia, the most in one month since they began monitoring in August 2017, the office reported on its website. None of the incidents were in the category of ‘very significant’. The monthly average for the past year is over twenty incidents, with twenty-one in September.

Of the forty-seven cyber incidents recorded, three fell into the category of ‘significant’. In October, NÚKIB recorded the highest number of DDoS attacks in a single month, namely thirty, in which computers controlled by hackers put a server out of service by flooding it with queries. This method is one of the most frequently used types of attacks in the cyber war running parallel to the military conflict in Ukraine. According to the office, the majority of the DDoS attacks were committed by the pro-Russian hacker group NoName057(16).
