14 DAY TRIAL // World Hacker Team (WHT), a smaller division of the Anonymous hacker collective, has posted a link online containing the database dump of a site connected to the National Oil Corporation of Kenya.
The data dump does not hold sensitive details and appears to be part of a survey management CMS, which was running somewhere on the company's official website. The World Hacker Team also posted a screenshot of the hacked backend as proof of their attack.
The database dump is made up of two main tables. The first is a table containing details about National Oil Corporation employees with access to the CMS. It holds usernames, email addresses and emails, along with the user's rank. Five admins are included.
The second table appears to hold the same information, but on 218 users. All the data in the second table is from National Oil Corporation employees.
The data dump is part of the second stage of the #OpAfrica campaign, during which the hackers said they would be targeting Kenyan organizations, along with other countries such as Burundi, Togo, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Algeria.
Previously, Anonymous hackers also leaked 1TB of documents from Kenya's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
This is no devastating data breach like we saw in the past from Anonymous, but some people are probably going to see an increase in spam in the following months. The lesson here is that #OpAfrica hasn't stopped and that the World Hacker Team will try to deliver on its promise made at the end of last month and leak details from services and agencies from other African countries.
