Such an alliance, which currently has 55 members and 89 subscribers on its communication channel, has been touted as the largest in the world and seeks to launch intrusions in retaliation to Spain's recent arrests of individuals part of the NoName057(16) hacktivist group, which has been accused of targeting the country and other NATO member countries for their support of Ukraine. "This strategic partnership will allow us to combine our efforts to achieve common goals. Joint work in key areas will ensure significant progress and deliver tangible results," said Holy League on its communication channel. Such a development comes more than a year after pro-Russian threat operations Anonymous Sudan, REvil, and KillNet announced the establishment of the Darknet Parliament coalition that sought to target Europe.
