Hackers have unleashed a merciless war against Maduro.
Venezuela is plunging into the abyss of a political crisis after the presidential elections held on July 28, 2024. The current president, Nicolas Maduro, was officially declared the winner, but the opposition strongly disagrees with the results. According to her, there is a lot of evidence of fraud, and in fact the victory should have gone to the opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez. Manipulation of the electoral system and falsification of voting results have become the object of accusations against the Maduro government.
Mass protests broke out across the country. Demonstrators clashed with security forces and pro-Government groups. The intensity of passions has reached such a level that the conflict has spread to the virtual space.
Hacker groups have resumed the #OpVenezuela campaign, coordinating their actions via Telegram and X (formerly Twitter). On July 31, the Anonymous collective declared cyberwarfare against the Maduro regime. Hackers claim to have successfully attacked more than 45 government websites, some of them hacked.
ANONYMOUS VENEZUELA has reported the first successful attack on servers allegedly linked to an app that the Maduro regime uses to spy on citizens. Other hacker associations joined the cyberattacks: Cyber Hunters, MS BOTNET Cyberhunter, and Skull Hunters. They continuously conduct DDoS attacks on the websites of national banks, organizations and companies associated with Maduro, as well as on government resources.
The Venezuelan authorities, in turn, accused hackers from North Macedonia of trying to disrupt the elections. Although no specific group was named, the GlorySec hackers, who pose as pro-Western anarcho-capitalists, said they were accused of interfering in the Venezuelan elections. Despite denying its involvement in such actions, GlorySec continues to actively cover its activities as part of the #OpVenezuela campaign. In particular, they claim that they hacked accounts associated with the Communist Party of Venezuela, and threaten to release the data of its members.
