The Cyber Express found that except for a few, almost all the affected hospital websites allegedly targeted by Anonymous Sudan were accessible.
What Anonymous Sudan declared
First on their Telegram channel, the plot of Anonymous Sudan targeting U.S. hospitals was declared as shown above in the screenshot. Soon after, the attacks were made.
Alon Gal, the Co-Founder & CTO of Hudson Rock, a cybercrime intelligence company posted an alert that Anonymous Sudan Targets US Hospitals. He also posted message about the plans of Anonymous Sudan looking to infiltrate US organizations. The post threatened to prove what ‘condemnation was properly.’
“To remind you, they’ve been dropping Israeli sites in the past few weeks and are speculated to attack countries that don’t support Russia’s war in Ukraine,” Along wrote in a LinkedIn post. Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency was attacked by Anonymous Sudan using a DDoS attack this week.
The NII cyberattack
Anonymous Sudan claimed the DDoS attack on the National Insurance Institute (NII) and wrote, “Message to Israel, we do not want any mediation from you in Sudan….”
The National Insurance Institute based in Israel denied suffering a DDoS attack by Anonymous Sudan, and said, “They are trying to attack the site even now but have not succeeded,” news reports by the Times of Israel read.
“We took you down for an hour,” Anonymous Sudan posted on Telegram after targeting the National Insurance Institute (NII). They continued by claiming that they can bring the website down for longer, however, they were preparing for a big attack.
This statement was made by the cybercriminal group in response to reports about Israel offering to mediate the conflict in Sudan that led to over 420 deaths ever since the situation escalated on April 15.
Anonymous Sudan has allegedly been targeting countries showing support for Ukraine in the Russo-Ukrainian war. The group also allegedly targeted Indian hospitals in Hyderabad, India in the recent past, and airport websites from Goa, New Delhi, and Cochin among others.
