Also known asz_alliance

Z-Alliance is a Russian-aligned hacktivist threat group. Reporting cited in the provided content states that Z-Alliance, alongside Cyber Army of Russia Reborn, TwoNet, and the Infrastructure Destruction Squad, evolved from low-impact DDoS activity into operations involving OT/IoT reconnaissance and claimed disruptive attacks against industrial targets. The group has been associated with targeting or claiming compromises of cameras, and the content places it among actors observed targeting internet-exposed IP cameras. Separate reporting in the content also states that Z-Alliance issued a statement in Russian declaring support for Iran and readiness to conduct offensive operations during the Israel-Iran conflict, and claimed an attack against the Gan HaDarom pumping station. Based on the provided material, Z-Alliance should be understood as a Russian-aligned hacktivist actor involved in disruptive and propaganda-driven operations, with activity spanning DDoS, camera targeting, OT/IoT reconnaissance, and claimed industrial targeting.
