14 DAY TRIAL // Hackers of the Syrian Electronic Army have breached and defaced a total of 16 Saudi Arabian government websites. The targeted sites are the ones of various administrative regions, also known as principalities.
The attacks have been launched under the banner #ActAgainstSaudiArabiaTerrorism. On the defaced pages, the hackers posted a message in which they condemn the Al Saud regime, which they accuse of using terrorist groups for its dirty work.
At the time of writing, the impacted websites have been taken offline.
However, this doesn’t mean that the hackers have stopped targeting Microsoft. They say that more attacks will follow in the upcoming period.
Recently, hackers of the Turkish group Turkguvenligi have breached the SEA’s website through its hosting provider. The Syrian hackers say their website will remain offline until they can find another hosting company that will accept their site.
“While that our operations and hacks will continue normally, we will keep you updated on our social media sites,” they noted.
