That toot references https://archive.is/2024.01.30-203406/https://www.luzernerzei... which attributes the story to Stefan Züger from the Swiss branch of Fortinet and claims it to be an actual event.

I don't see a mention of "NoName Ddosia".

Re "Noname Ddosia": It's from the context, if you know your recent infosec history:

"Jüngst wurden damit auch Server von Schweizer Regierungsstellen während des Weltwirtschaftsforums angegriffen – als Retourkutsche für die Teilnahme des ukrainischen Präsidenten Wolodimir Selenski. Eine russlandnahe Gruppierung bekannte sich zum Angriff."

(translation: "Servers of Swiss government offices were recently attacked during the World Economic Forum - as a retaliation for the participation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. A group close to Russia claimed responsibility for the attack.")

Usually in January, 2021 was in August and 2022 in May.
