Interview Rafa López

In this interview, Rafa López analyzes the evolution of cyber threats, highlighting everything from individual fraud cases in luxury hotels to the dismantling of groups such as Anonymous Fénix, which carried out denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against Spanish public institutions for ideological reasons following the DANA. López emphasizes that modern hacktivism, often aligned with pro-Russian interests such as Killnet or NoName, differs from traditional cybercrime because it seeks total disruption or the unavailability of critical infrastructure and public services, rather than purely economic gain. This threat is global and persistent, affecting both public administrations and SMEs, which may even go bankrupt due to the impact of such attacks. To address this challenge, he highlights the critical need for organizations to maintain visibility over their exposed assets and to deploy defensive technologies such as WAFs (web application firewalls) and anti-DDoS systems, complemented by human expertise to continuously adjust these tools in response to ongoing attacks.
