Anonymous Sudan, a threat actor group known for its malicious cyber activities, has recently been the subject of increased attention in the cybersecurity industry. This entity, which could consist of a single individual, a private company, or part of a government organization, is responsible for executing actions with harmful intent. Their activities have raised serious concerns about the security of digital platforms and have highlighted the urgent need for robust cybersecurity measures. The group first gained notoriety after launching a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack against Telegram, as reported by Security Affairs. The attack caused significant disruption to the popular messaging platform, underscoring the group's capabilities and intent. Anonymous Sudan's tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) were further illustrated when they targeted the Jerusalem Post website, as depicted in Figure 3.5 from NSFOCUS Global. In a subsequent act of hacktivism, Anonymous Sudan escalated its offensive by targeting Cloudflare, a web infrastructure and website security company. After successfully taking down the Cloudflare website, the group demonstrated their ability to disrupt even those entities that specialize in online protection. This series of attacks underscores the evolving threat landscape and emphasizes the importance of continued vigilance and investment in cybersecurity defenses.
