Two Sudanese Brothers Indicted for Major Cyberattacks Targeting Critical Infrastructure
The U.S. Department of Justice has indicted two Sudanese nationals for their alleged involvement in the notorious Anonymous Sudan cybercriminal group, which has executed over 35,000 Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks globally. The duo is accused of orchestrating cyberattacks on vital infrastructures, including hospitals and government facilities in Los Angeles, as well as targeting major corporations such as Microsoft, Netflix, and CNN. This action comes as part of a broader effort to disrupt the cyberattack-for-hire operations linked to the group, following a series of dangerous attacks that have raised significant security concerns.
