RUSSIAN cyber criminals targeted the Royal Family yesterday – days after King Charles’s condemnation of the Ukraine war.
Hacktivist pro-Putin group KillNet said they brought down the royal.uk website for 90 minutes yesterday morning - forcing Palace chiefs to scramble their cyber security experts.
A source said: “This was a denial of service attack which saw the site bombarded with traffic.”
Royal fans trying to log in saw the message “Gateway time-out error code 504”.
Soon after, KillNet bragged on messenger app Telegram that it was responsible.
