Anonymous hackers from Venezuela and Argentina have breached and defaced a large number of Venezuelan government websites.

“This post is dedicated to all Venezuelans. We will not allow this corrupt government to dominate our way of thinking. We are prepared to face them,” the hacktivists wrote in Spanish on the defaced websites. “We will not allow Cuba to dominate our country.”

The list of targeted sites includes pgmerida.gob.ve, fundaciteportuguesa.gob.ve, zonfipca.gob.ve, iamdr.gob.ve, alcaldiabrion.gob.ve, cortudelta.gob.ve, casabello.gob.ve, polimaturin.gob.ve, spcnu.gob.ve and misionvenezuela.org.

Some of the targeted websites have been restored, but many of them are either still defaced or offline.

Last week, the Argentinian hackers defaced a website belonging to Argentina’s military. They claim they haven’t deleted any important data. Instead, they simply wanted to show that “security doesn’t exist in Argentina.”
