On Sunday morning, the official website of the British royal family was down. The Telegraph reveals that it was due to a hacker attack, and it wasn’t just anyone who was behind it.

The website is said to have been down for about an hour and a half, and is said to have been the victim of a targeted cyber attack for which Russian hackers have claimed responsibility. The group goes by the name Killnet.
Killnet is a pro-Kremlin group that has become known in recent years for its hacker attacks against countries that support Ukraine, particularly NATO nations. The UK is a key member of NATO.

King Charles’ (74) and family website was up again on Sunday afternoon, but throughout the day had only shown an error message to everyone who tried to enter.

Last year, the group was named in a warning by the “Five Eyes” alliance, made up of intelligence agencies in the UK, US, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, about cyber attacks on critical infrastructure following the invasion of Ukraine. A separate report from the US Department of Health said that Killnet had made threats against public health organisations, including in the UK. However, it was reported that the threats should be taken with “a grain of salt” due to the group’s “tendency to exaggerate”.
Buckingham Palace has not yet commented on the attack.
