SSC assesses that the threat actor sent spoofed DNS requests to the MikroTik devices, which allowed DNS recursion. The requests were then processed as valid and returned to the spoofed recipients, in this case the targeted Ukrainian websites. This is known as an amplifier attack because this method takes advantage of misconfigured DNS servers to reflect the attack onto a target while amplifying the volume of packets.
