NEWCASTLE – Hacktivist group Anonymous claimed they had successfully hacked the Armscor website.
Following the dismantling of the ZanuPF website recently by Anonymous Africa, Twitter account @YourAnonCentral tweeted earlier this morning claiming it had hacked the South African arms supplier.
Blog site www.hackread.com explained the details of the attack:
“The hacktivist behind this hack is the same one who previously hacked two Israeli arms importers and leaked client details in public for operation OpIsrael, however, this time the hacker has chosen the dark net to leak 63 MB data in HTML files that include invoices numbers, order numbers, invoice amount etc of Airbus, Thales group, Rolls Royce, Eads or EADS (European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company), Denel etc.”
Armscor’s Communications Department said it was investigating the matter, and would subsequently publish a report of their findings.
