Frontão first emerged in 2020, when the hacktivist group Digital Revolution hacked into an FSB contractor and released white papers demonstrating the creation of a botnet on behalf of the FSB (Federal Security Service).
Until recently, it was believed that the botnet was designed to carry out large-scale DDoS attacks. According to Fronton’s analysis of additional documents, DDoS attacks are only part of the botnet’s capabilities.
