"Colombian Government Targeted by Suspected Cyber Partisans"

According to the threat intelligence analyst FalconFeedsio, SiegedSec, a hacktivist group, is attacking Colombian government websites.

The group is said to be under the leadership of YourAnonWolf. However, it is unknown whether SiegedSec is entirely partisan.

In February of this year, the cybersecurity analyst SocRadar said that SiegedSec shows no preference for the industries or locations of its victims, adding that it has successfully targeted businesses in a variety of industries around the world, including healthcare, Information Technology (IT), insurance, legal, and finance. In a single year, SiegedSec compromised approximately 30 companies by stealing data and leaking emails. This article continues to discuss findings and observations regarding SiegedSec.
