Recently, the Anonymous Collective purportedly orchestrated a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack targeting RTX Corporation, formerly known as Raytheon Technologies Corporation. Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, RTX stands as a prominent American multinational conglomerate, renowned for its contributions to aerospace and defense industries globally. It boasts a significant market presence, offering a diverse range of products and services, including advanced weaponry and intelligence solutions.
The group’s motivation for the attack is purportedly RTX’s association with the Israeli government, particularly its provision of weapons. According to the group’s statement, RTX supplies a broad spectrum of weaponry to the Israeli government, spanning missiles, bombs, and other military ordnance. Furthermore, RTX’s technological components are reportedly integrated into various critical Israeli defense systems, encompassing fighter aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and naval vessels.
