Anonymous Sudan has hit Chad telecommunications provider Sudachad with what the threat actor is calling a “massive cyberattack.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The hacktivist group said on its <\/span>Telegram channel<\/a><\/span> that the cyberattack targeted the telco’s infrastructure, including “critical routers, network administration, and other network devices.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the attack, network monitoring service <\/span>NetBlocks<\/a><\/span> noted a “collapse” in Internet connectivity from Sudachad on Jan. 10. No other details have been confirmed about the nature of the purported cyberattack.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anonymous Sudan, known for having waged distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against <\/span>Israel<\/a><\/span> and <\/span>Europe<\/a><\/span> \u2014 and <\/span>Telegram<\/a><\/span> after the group’s messaging account was suspended last year \u2014 said in a comment on its channel that the attack was due to Chad’s support for “RSF,” presumably the paramilitary group <\/span>Rapid Support Forces<\/a><\/span>, of which Chad is allied.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sudachad <\/span>says<\/a><\/span> it is currently the sole provider of wholesale Internet capacities for Chad, and has a 20-year exclusive concession agreement to manage, operate, and maintain Chad’s government fiber assets.<\/span><\/p>\n
