USGOV Warning of Operation Black Summer CyberAttack Plot
What You Need to Know
On March 28, 2013, AlertsUSA issued the following
Flash message to subscriber mobile devices:
U.S. nat'l security elements warning industry & infrastructure stakeholders of "jihadist" cyberattack plot against U.S. "vital services". More
info forthcoming.
AlertsUSA subscribers were notified earlier in the week that the USGOV is warning industry & infrastructure stakeholders of "jihadist" cyberattack
plot against U.S. "vital services". The alert was sent following a report on an al Qaeda-linked website (I deleted the site. Don't know if its'
againts T&C to show here) that two groups have announced an “Open Invitation for All Hackers to Participate in what is being called ‘Operation
Black Summer’.
The two groups involved in the planning are the al Qaeda Digital Army and the “Tunisian Cyber Army”. The groups clam to have already hacked
numerous U.S. government sites including the U.S. State Department, the Army National Guard, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Office of
Personnel Management. The attackers claim to have obtained sensitive information, including the IP addresses of government computers and servers,
which is being retained for future attacks.
The group also says they had the assistance of “Chinese hacker" and have been using the Twitter hashtag ( I deleted the tag. Don't know if
its' againts T&C to show here) for basic communications and coordination.
What do you think? Banks maybe? Grid?
