Anonymous Sudan Strikes at the Heart of Israel’s Telecommunications Giant, Pelephone Communications

In a shocking development, the notorious hacking collective Anonymous Sudan has claimed responsibility for a devastating cyberattack on Pelephone Communications Ltd, one of Israel’s largest mobile network operators and telecommunications companies.

Pelephone, a cornerstone of Israel’s telecommunications sector, has fallen victim to a sophisticated cyber assault that left the majority of its digital infrastructure offline.

The attackers boldly assert that they have practically crippled the core systems of Pelephone, hinting at undisclosed consequences that could be even more severe.

Motives Revealed: A Response to Alleged Atrocities

The threat actors revealed the motives behind the cyberattack in the accompanying message. Anonymous Sudan alleges that the assault is a direct response to Israel’s perceived genocidal campaign on Gaza.

The group issues a stern warning that such attacks will persist as long as the alleged atrocities continue.

Pelephone Anticipates Serious Damages

Following the announcement, many anticipate massive damages, as Pelephone hosts critical systems, including SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and other infrastructure-based endpoints. This could also attack numerous companies reliant on Pelephone’s infrastructure.

It remains to be seen how Pelephone will respond to this unprecedented breach, and the incident raises questions about the vulnerability of critical infrastructure in the face of cyber threats. The international community will undoubtedly be closely watching as this cyber warfare unfolds.

As the situation develops, stay tuned for updates on the aftermath of this significant cyber attack and its potential implications for both Pelephone and the broader telecommunications landscape in Israel.

Previous Attacks on Israel

This is not the first time the said actors are targeting telecommunications companies. Last week, they announced the downing of a dominant network provider in Chad. Stating that it was in response to the nation supporting it’s rivals.

Israel also got a taste of the attack as seized control of some critical infrastructures.
