The Record reported that the Russian city of Perm restored its parking payment system after a cyberattack the prior week knocked the service offline for several days, temporarily making parking free. Local officials said the disruption was caused by a large-scale DDoS attack that overwhelmed the citys automated parking payment infrastructure. No data theft was described; the primary effect was service availability disruption.

•[ DDoS, botnet, distributed denial-of-service ]
OCCRP reported its website was targeted by a sophisticated distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack beginning on Monday and still ongoing as of January 13, 2026. The organization said the assault appeared to involve a large international botnet and adaptive tactics, suggesting a coordinated effort with a human element responding to defenses. Recent infrastructure upgrades reportedly prevented a complete outage; however, readers could experience slower access and additional verification steps designed to block automated traffic. OCCRP stated the source of the attack had not been identified and framed the incident as an attempt to make its investigative reporting inaccessible by overwhelming online services rather than compromising internal data systems.
