Microsoft Embroiled in Scandal: Anonymous Sudan Hactivists Claim

A group of Hactivists, known as “Anonymous Sudan,” has claimed that they successfully hacked a server and obtained the data of 30 million client accounts. However, the company involved denies these allegations and insists that there have been no data leaks. This contradiction leads to a question of whom to believe.

Group Identity

Truesec, a cybersecurity firm, has stated that Anonymous Sudan is unrelated to the well-known online activist group, “Anonymous.” Based on their investigation, it is highly likely that Anonymous Sudan was created as part of a Russian information operation aimed at destabilizing Sweden’s application to join NATO.

Threats and Collaborations

Recently, Anonymous Sudan hackers have formed alliances with other hacker groups such as Killnet and Revil. Together, they have publicly announced a large-scale attack on European banks and the SWIFT system. Additionally, they have targeted the SAS airline, demanding a ransom of $10 million to cease their distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
