14 DAY TRIAL // Anonymous hackers continue Operation Gabon (OpGabon), a campaign initiated in an effort to raise awareness of and put an end to the ritual killings that take place in the country.
The latest attack has been launched against the official website of Gabon’s President, Ali Bongo (presidentalibongo.com).
Hacktivists have launched a distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack against the website, making it inaccessible to visitors, Hackers News Bulletin informs.
In addition to the president’s website, the hackers have also attacked three other sites managed by the Gabon presidency: gabon-vert.com, gabon-services.com and gabon-industriel.com.
“We can no longer accept Ali Bongo’s dictatorship and abuse on Gabon’s people and its resources. Just like we took actions towards the ritual killings, Anonymous is standing up with the people of Gabon once again, but this time against the corrupt regime of Ali Bongo and family,” hacktivists said in a statement published last month.
“This is a special message to Ali Bongo and his entire regime, Anonymous is aware of your wrong doings, corruption and profligacy. We will raise awareness of your ill-mannered behavior in every parts of the world, and help bring justice to the Gabonese people!” they added.
Currently, all the attacked websites appear to be working properly.
