In recent years, political changes in leadership are often accompanied with attacks in cyberspace by opposition or those that reject the viewpoints of elected leaders. This is even more true today with groups like #Killnet, #AnonymousSudan, and #NoName057 in the mix as they typically target countries perceived to be anti-muslim or that show support and solidarity in standing with #Ukraine.

The biggest source is cheap/free cloud & hosting servers that attackers are turning into botnet launch pads. Trial/free/low cost accounts are providing anonymity & low cost.
