The hackers tried to interrupt an online conference held by the Catholic charity on handling the humanitarian situation in Ukraine in March 2022.
The meeting was disrupted as soon as the general secretary of Caritas Internationalis began to speak and after that various interruptions were caused by different voices.
Some messages were also send with the name of members on the meet by the hackers to disrupt the meeting.
Russia was apparently blamed for the attack in an attempt to disrupt the help send to Ukraine.
