A weak password exposed by infostealer malware is being blamed after a massive outage at Orange Spain disrupted around half of its network’s traffic.
The network provider is Spain’s second most popular and on Wednesday evening confirmed its RIPE account had been breached by an attacker.
RIPE is the regional database that contains all IP addresses and their owners in Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia.
The attack was claimed by an individual operating under the alias of “Snow,” who published a series of screenshots explaining how they supposedly carried out the attack.
