Many news outlets claim to have seen materials — namely, in now-deleted Telegram posts — in which Russia-aligned hacking groups Noname057(16) and Z-Pentest are claiming responsibility for the attacks. Z-Pentest reportedly posted 2,500 lines of Danfoss code, but none of these alleged materials have been published. The purported hackers claim the attacks are about highlighting bad cybersecurity practices.

hotaru251 are just to expose bad security no or you wouldnt cause damages (especially targeting blood which is finite and critical for some people to survive) if you WERE only about showing bad security you'd msg them about it and show them you can do stuff at a specific time on a non critical thing so they can see it happen but also fix issue before causes a larger issue.
