Since the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine in February 2022, the Czech National Cyber and Information Security Agency (NÚKIB) has recorded more than 200 DDoS attacks by Russian-speaking hacktivist groups. These cyberattacks have mostly targeted public institutions and the financial sector, NÚKIB spokesperson Alžběta Dvořáková said.
The attacks often come in response to Czech officials’ declarations of support for Ukraine. According to NÚKIB, many of these hacktivist groups operate in line with the interests of specific states, especially Russia, and their activities have intensified since the war began.

The Constitutional Court has ruled that the Regional Court in Brno violated the rights of a young victim by giving her stepfather a suspended sentence for rape and child pornography. Although the Constitutional Court did not overturn the verdict, it emphasized its limited powers and noted the victim may now seek compensation from the state.
The case sparked public outrage. The offender had forced the girl into sex up to five times a week for over a year. The court stressed that any future conditional sentence for sexual crimes must be properly justified and called for systemic reforms to protect victims.
