In recent events, Microsoft experienced a series of outages earlier this month, which have been attributed to a hacking group. This group had been engaged in a string of attacks on various targets, including Israel, Sweden, and several other nations. Cybersecurity researchers have identified a growing campaign associated with these attacks, which they believe may be linked to Russia.
A newly emerged group known as Anonymous Sudan, which became active in January 2023, has recently taken responsibility for a series of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks targeting Australian companies. These attacks have affected various sectors, including healthcare, aviation, and education organizations.
In a recent statement, Microsoft officially acknowledged that the disruptions experienced by its Outlook service in early June were caused by a DDoS attack. Anonymous Sudan has claimed responsibility for this particular attack and publicly attributed it to their group.
Identifying themselves as a loosely organized collective of hacktivists, the group adopted a name that implied their association with Sudan. They explicitly stated their intention to focus on Australian organizations in March, citing their objection to attire exhibited at a fashion festival in Melbourne. The clothing in question featured Arabic text reading “God walks with me.”
