🚨 Iran-US/Israel war Cybertracker #2 🚨 There are now 60 hacktivist groups engaged in activities. Most neighboring countries to Iran have been targeted. Pro-Russian groups are starting to join the fight in support Iran and more will join in coming days.

Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters did dump some of the Salesforce data. Including Qantas, remember though that Qantas has legal actions around viewing the data. #Australia #Qantas

Likely that Australia experienceS increased hacktivist activity as a result of this announcement, there are pro-Iran hacktivist groups that could target Australia. Also possible that pro-Palestine groups target Australia if they perceive this to be pandering to Israel. #Australia #Iran

2025 state of cybersecurity

This is a great primer from @samsabin.bsky.social on the North Korean IT Worker Attacks. Also, congrats on THREE (!) amazing years Sam!

I want to double down on my recommendation that the press openly mocking Altman should be absolutely required when he says garbage like this.

Updated India-Pakistan cybertracker #indiapakistan

This NYT piece is half baked. Hegseth's digital footprint is sloppy, but so is that of 99% of the internet-using population. Why not talk more about MFA, strong authentication, unique passwords, the infostealer problem, etc.? So many unmentioned angles. #infosec www.nytimes.com/2025/05/07/u...

🚨India-Pakistan Cybertracker #1 🚨 There are 45 hacktivist engaging in cyber activities as a result of kinetic actions between India and Pakistan. Geopolitical flashpoints will now always trigger hacktivist activity. Defacement and DDoS remain the most popular and prominent attack vectors.

Chinese officials acknowledged in a December meeting with Biden officials in Geneva that Beijing was behind the Volt Typhoon intrusions into U.S. critical infrastructure citing increasing U.S. policy support for Taiwan as an excuse www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Fsociety Ransomware has posted an anonymous Australian University. But going by the layout of the name, it could be the Australian National University. This is a university that has strong links and overlap with government and defence in Australia. #cybersecurity #infosec #Australia #auspol

What's the tips and tricks of maximising this app? I feel like I am not getting enough out of it.

Trump presidency take 2 meme summary.

A meme for the cyber pals to gear up for 2025.

You might have seen me post throughout the years about financially motivated hacktivists.. This is an example here, Usersec, who has been making plenty of claims lately, is offering a course for a fee to their followers.

Anyone got a read on this 'lockbit 4.0' telegram page? Not Vibing right.

Standard operating procedure for pro-Russian hacktivists and especially Noname05716. Triggered by geopolitical events to conduct DDoS attacks, this time on the UK. #cybersecurity #UK #russiaukrainewar

Is this what is happening to Tik Tok? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

The first indication that pro-Russian hacktivist will be active for President Trumps inauguration is starting to appear. Expect hacktivist groups to be active closer to the 19th, conducting mostly DDoS - noname05716 and overflame to likely be the most active. #cybersecurity #usa

British authorities have sentenced 22-year-old Skylar Dalziel to 21 months in prison for hacking and stealing unreleased music from famous artists like Coldplay and Bebe Rexha www.bbc.com/news/article...

Is it a form of flattery that makes some cyber actors use @briankrebs.bsky.social name and images. It can't be a means of attention since the groups never get a mega boost from it. Seems to happen on occasion on Breach and now a bit on Telegram.

Hacktivist activity linked to geopolitical events won't be slowing down in 2025. We can expect more convergence between pro-russian and pro-palestine hacktivists. We will also continue to see new groups emerge, like Moscow Pentest.

Pro-palestine hacktivists, RootDos are targeting Migros bank in Europe. The group exclusively targets, European banks and often disrupts websites with their DDoS attacks. #cybersecurity

Pro-Russian hacktivists, Zarya announce they have been in the shadows for 2024 but will share what they have been up to in 2025. The group has been linked to Russian state-cyber actors. #RussiaUkraineWar #cybersecurity

Apparently there is a Russian tourist site for parts of Ukraine, Hdr0, pro-Ukraine hacktivists have defaced the site in protest. #RussiaUkraineWar #cybersecurity

Anonymous Libya have commenced operations and declares interest in targeting NATO and the United States. #cybersecurity #Libya

Hacktivist cross-overs with other threats continue. Alliance404 a pro-Palestine, Pro-Islam hacktivist group has now become the cyber-wing of a newly formed 'self-claimed Islamic resistance group' with possible linked to Hezbollah known as 'Al-Islamiya Brigade'.

Holy League has re-established itself as the unofficial command and control for many pro-Russian groups. This comes after a leadership change for Cyber Army Russia Reborn, who has been in charge since the civil war of late 2023. #cybersecurity #RussiaUkraineWar

Several hacktivists groups were active in support of rebel forces since 1 December. Also been a few groups who are now targeting Russia due to them harbouring Assad. #cybersecurity #Syria #Russia #cybertracker

The pro-Russian hacktivist campaign against Australia continues. As expected, two other groups have joined Noname05716, with Z-pentest and fredens of security now active. Remain alert not Alarmed. #RussiaUkraineWar #Australia #UkraineRussiaWar️️

For all those sketchy CTI and Threat intel folks.

What happened to Mastodon? Wasn't it the go-to X escape in 2023?

1000 days of the current #RussiaUkraineWar! That also means I've been tracking, monitoring, and posting about hacktivist groups for 1000 days! I hope it's been a benefit to those who have needed it. For those that remember, this is the original #cybertracker. #CyberSecurity #Ukraine #Russia

Hunt3r kill3rs, pro-Russian hacktivist group are preparing a campaign against the United States. This is triggered by the approval by US officials for Ukraine to use long range missiles on Russia. #cybersecurity #infosec #RussianUkrainianWar #UkraineRussiaWar️️ #USA

The oddest post relating to potential cyber activity. 'Heightened threat level' what was the cost of an almost 24-hour downtime for Ticketek Australia? Would have to be something significant to warrant shutting down their site for that long.

Interesting post by Alixsec. They are currently targeting US with DDoS, and they are outlining what the impact could be from DDoS attacks on organisations. It's possibly an AI prompt result. This would be one of the first pieces of evidence of AI usage by hacktivists. (Outside of image creation)

An expected response by hacktivists about the US government announcement of allowing Ukraine greater missile use has started. Expect DDoS attacks in the coming hours to days. additional attacks may also take place but will often be overstated Be alert but not Alarmed. #cybersecurity #infosec #USA

Ticketek has been 'undergoing maintenance' for multiple hours now, possibly since early this morning. For those asking, I haven't seen any DDoS claims at the time of this post. It could be actual technical issues. #cybersecurity #infosec #Australia #auspol24

Gave this app a go during the last cybersecurity migration from X. I will still continue to be largely active on X, but if many good folk are here, then I will keep an eye on this as well.. Please follow me so I can make sure I follow all the same folks. Bit of a meme offering as well.

The open-source cyber situation related to Israel and Palestine. Lots of established hacktivist groups conducting attacks
