In the latest twist of the cyber warfare between Anonymous Egypt group and R00TK1T hackers, the latter has turned up the heat on Egyptian soil, accusing the Anonymous Egypt group of content theft. In a dark web post, R00TK1T has vowed to intensify cyberattacks on Egypt, targeting major infrastructure and organizations within the nation.
The retaliation was swift and severe — starting the attacks with cyber assaults on the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade in Egypt and a prominent software company with operations in Egypt.
The hacker used the same methods to target all the alleged victims and left several messages on their data leak channel, condemning the Anonymous Egypt group, stating, “Anonymous Egypt made a grave mistake thinking they could outsmart us. Now, it’s time to show them the true power of our skills. ”

In a declaration on dark web, R00TK1T proclaimed, “Security Is Just An Illusion, Privacy Is Just Another Illusion.” They warned of impending chaos, signaling their determination to disrupt the status quo. Their message resonated with defiance: “F*ck Society & The System! We Are R00TK1T Will Be Anywhere Anytime!”
The Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade was among the first victims that allegedly fell prey to R00TK1T’s infiltration, with the group proudly flaunting evidence of their access to the ministry’s most secure networks.
As images surfaced, showcasing the depth of their intrusion, it became clear that R00TK1T’s retaliation was not against the hacker group but the whole of Egypt.

But these cyberattacks on Egyptian companies didn’t end there. CorporateStack, a renowned company specializing in digital transformation solutions, also fell victim to an alleged cyberattack by the hacker group.
With clients like Bentley, Vodafone, and Hexa, CorporateStack was a prime target for R00TK1T’s message: no entity was beyond their reach. The group’s infiltration into CorporateStack’s systems sent a clear message to businesses operating in Egypt.
