The voice from a video of the decentralized international activist and hacktivist collective and movement resounded on Twitter on Tuesday afternoon as the Anonymous collective declared war on Iran and launched several strikes against the regime.
Iran saw significant protests for many days after the brutal prison death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. In response, Anonymous ended its inaction and launched the OPIRan. Spid3r, the inventor of KromSec and an agent of Anonymous, alone brought down several websites after the discovery.

The 22-year-old Iranian lady from the Kurdistan area died on Friday in Tehran, according to authorities and state media, after suffering a stroke and many heart attacks while being detained by Iran’s purported morality police because she was wearing an “improper” headscarf.

The Iranian government claims that Amini had pre-existing issues that contributed to her death, while her family disputes the claims that she was mistreated or beaten.
A video that documented the protests that erupted following Amini’s death in numerous Iranian cities was made public early on Wednesday.

The two main websites of the Iranian government appear to have been the principal targets of the attacks. The first is the “smart services” website of the government, which provides a range of online services, while the second is devoted to disseminating government news and official interviews. All databases have been deleted, claims a social media entity that is believed to be affiliated with Anonymous.

The Iranian government has not issued an official response to the allegations or attacks.
Other websites were also attacked, including the Iranian state television website, which was down for a period. The websites frequently went offline on Wednesday morning before coming back up, indicating a struggle between hackers and website maintenance.

Kurdistan’s governor, Esmail Zarei Kousha, asserts that three deaths have occurred thus far during the demonstrations. The official, however, asserted that the deaths were “strange” and seemed to be an attempt by “anti-revolutionary” elements to sow unrest across the country. According to state media on Wednesday, protests over Amini’s passing had broken out in 15 Iranian towns.

The Pheonix hacking group is well known for its proficiency at remotely hacking mobile devices and gaining access to its victims’ bank or e-payment accounts. They occasionally earned money by giving parties information. Pro-Russian hacker organization Phoenix Group is now threatening The Pentagon, US. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February, numerous pro-Ukraine and pro-Russian hacker groups have interfered with a variety of Ukrainian and Russian institutions.

The Pentagon serves as the administrative hub for the US Department of Defense. It was constructed quickly during World War II. Because it is a manifestation of the American military, the word “The Pentagon” is widely used as a metonym for the Department of Defense and its leadership.

Earlier, Anonymous Russia also made a similar comment, threatening The Pentagon. Known for its numerous cyberattacks against various countries, government institutions, government agencies, and corporations, Anonymous is a decentralized, transnational activist and hacktivist collective and movement.

On a Tweet posted by Cyber know, it was seen that The Phoenix had posted a picture with Joe Biden in it and wrote “Pentagon, America Tell me where to buy Vaseline” which indicated that they were making fun of the US President Joe Biden.

An anonymous source leaked 4TB of proprietary data from Cellebrite an Israeli digital intelligence company. Cellebrite provides cybersecurity tools for federal, state, and local law enforcement as well as for companies and enterprises. The company provides services to collect, review, analyze, and manage digital data.

Cellebrite Universal Forensic Extraction Device, a product of Cellebrite used by law enforcement agencies shares its code with Cellebrite Mobilogy. The anonymous source has leaked data of both Cellebrite Mobilogy and the Cellebrite Team Foundation Server. Around 3.6 TB of data has been compromised and leaked from Cellebrite Mobilogy which is mainly used for device diagnostics, content transfer, backup, and restoration. The data is being made available to journalists and researchers.

Another cyber attack targeted Cellebrite Team Foundation Server’s backup files leaking 430 GB of data. Team Foundation Server provides a collaborative environment and it has been replaced by Azure DevOps Server used to share code, track work, and ship software that uses integrated software delivery tools hosted on the platform. This data has also been made available to journalists and researchers only.

However, the anonymous source hasn’t been recognized yet and any other hacker group didn’t claim responsibility for the recent cyber attack on Cellebrite. The methods of hacking haven’t been revealed either. Although Cellebrite has been the target of several cyber attacks since 2017. In January 2017 anonymous hacker allegedly leaked 900 GB of stolen data from Cellebrite and the data contained information regarding the political situations of various countries. According to an FBI investigation in February 2017, a hacker released a large amount of cache of Cellebrite’s most sensitive data, and that involved Cellebrite hacking into older iPhones, Androids, and Blackberry smartphones. Even Callebrite has been termed as a ‘hacking firm’ previously claiming to use phone hacking technology similar to NSO Group.

Although the recent hacking event of Cellebrite has been posted by a Twitter account named Soufiane Tahiri.

Recently a post made by Anonymous Collective Squad303 is making rounds on social media. In that post, TUI Group which is a German leisure, travel and tourism company is accused of running under Russian oligarch Alexei Mordashov.

The post further displays that even though the company is Germany based, it is being operated by Russian oligarch Alexei Mordashov. There is a call from the collective to stop buying and deals from this company as helping it would help Russia in its war against Ukraine.

So far a lot of people have lost their lives in this conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

The post further states that TUI AG also received funding from the German government. The total funding received by the company is around 1.2 billion euros. This is the taxpayer’s money of the german people that is being given to the TUI AG.

The stock price of  TUI1 was trading at (ETR) €1.57 +0.03 (+1.84%) on July 29th 2022. We tried to reach the company but no one was available for comment at the time of framing this article.

The anonymous collective has even issued a threat to the TUI group by making a statement Summer, time to relax! By choosing @TUIGroup you are supporting #Russian oligarch Alexei Mordashov covered by EU and US sanctions. The choice is yours! #Anonymous Expect us!

A month-long state of emergency has been declared by Uzbekistan in an autonomous republic where President Shavkat Mirziyoyev had to backtrack on several constitutional revisions because of infrequent protests.

Sherzod Asadov, the press secretary for President Mirziyoyev, announced on Telegram on Saturday that the Republic of Karakalpakstan would be under a state of emergency from just after midnight on Sunday (19:00 GMT on Saturday) until August 2.

According to the current Uzbek constitution, Karakalpakstan is a sovereign republic inside Uzbekistan with the authority to secede through a popular vote.

The revised constitution would no longer refer to Karakalpakstan’s sovereignty or right to secede, and Uzbekistan aims to take a public vote on it in the upcoming months.

But in a prompt response to the outcry, Mirziyoyev declared on Saturday while visiting Karakalpakstan that the revisions to the reform’s proposed status must be withdrawn, according to a statement from his office.

The government of Karakalpakstan announced earlier on Saturday that police had detained several additional protestors who had shown resistance as well as the protest’s organisers.

The anonymous collective has since posted several videos of the protests happening in Uzbekistan. These videos are graphic and viewers’ discretion is advised.

The Anonymous collective has hacked the website of The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration of the Russian Federation for attacking Ukraine. Ever since the start of the war between Russia and Ukraine, Russia is on the receiving end of the Anonymous collective and is doing cyberattacks ever since.

The anonymous collective in a statement stated they will not stop until Putin withdraws his Soldiers from Ukraine. The anonymous collective has always been on the side of innocent who can’t defend themselves and is moreover a group of activists who has a keyboard as a weapon.

The anonymous collective has revealed this on its official Twitter handle by posting, “Website of The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration of Russian federation, you have been hacked!

The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration is a Russian Federation state-funded institution of higher education which is located in Moscow, Russia.

It was founded on September 20, 2010, and has become one of the largest socioeconomic and humanities universities in the countries like Russia and Europe.

Since then there have been several incidents of hacking on Russian websites both government and privately funded. Recently, a Twitter account named Darkbloom claimed that they have “compromised” the website of Russian IT company obit(.)ru.

Just like we said, #Russian IT company obit(.)ru has been compromised.

Darkbloom is administrated by a group of hactivists. They have been claiming to breach multiple sites across Russia. They are even posting proof of activities on their Twitter account.

They also tagged other two Anonymous collectives on their accounts such as Cyberknow20 and  PucksReturn. Three of these accounts are currently raging a cyberwar against Russia as detected from the tweets they produce.

Russia has been attacking Ukrainian with DDoS jeopardizing 100 million devices ahead of the invasion. Ukrainian Defense Ministry and Private Bank, Ukraine’s largest commercial bank has been imperiled. Russia also played a heinous role in destroying Ukrainian computers. UK’s National Cyber Security Centre said, “The cyber activity from Russia against Ukraine has been there, but is consistent with Russia’s cyber harassment of the country going back years.”

As per the news floating around the internet, it claims that Anonymous, a disorganized collective of hacktivists, has launched another cyberattack on Russia, this time targeting government websites and a local radio station. Anonymous stated on Twitter over the weekend that it has successfully hacked many Russian websites, including Pravdapskov, the Russian Ministry of Construction, and MegaFon, the country’s second-largest mobile phone operator and third-largest telecom operator. All three websites are still unavailable as of this writing.

A cyber-attack was also conducted against the Vyberi Radio organization, which owns and runs 100 radio stations in 18 Russian cities. On DDoSecrets, Anonymous revealed over 1.5 million emails obtained from the radio group. During Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February, Anonymous vowed to unleash a cyber war against the Kremlin. On Sunday, the organization also hacked the Russian Federation’s Central Bank (CBR). The bank’s primary job is to maintain the Russian ruble’s stability. Anonymous gained control of the “Russian software system” that runs CBR as a result of the cyber-attack. In addition, the group disclosed confidential bank data, including “secret agreements.”

The hacker group also targeted Rosatom, Russia’s state-run nuclear energy giant, in May. Anonymous gained access to almost 800,000 documents, including information about the company’s affiliates and clients, as a result of the hack. A total of 5.63 GB of data from Rosatom was exposed by the organization.

As per the sources, we also came to know that Anonymous successfully breached Rosatom for the 2nd attempt in less than three months in May. The hacker group leaked 15.3 GB of data from the firm in March. An email address housed on the free encrypted mail provider ProtonMail, as well as personal information and passport details of the nuclear energy company’s clients, were among the data.

Furthermore, Anonymous also hacked Tetraedr, a Belarus-based weapons manufacturer, in February. Anonymous had access to over 200 GB of emails, PDF designs for weapons systems, and armoured vehicle brochures as a result of the hack, which was later published on DDoSecrets. Belarus’ largest trading partner is Russia. Belarus has likewise sided with Russia in the Ukraine conflict.
