Hackers attempt to overthrow President of Belarus
Cyber activists known as Belarus Cyber Partisans claim to have hacked almost all the servers of the Belarusian administration, currently headed by Alexander Lukashenko. It would be the biggest hacking operation against the country.
The results of the presidential elections in August 2020 did indeed create massive demonstrations that the government quickly reprimanded. So far, more than 27,000 people have been arrested and sentenced to heavy prison terms. But cyber activists then launched into a cyber war against the regime.
Hackers are said to be in possession of several incriminating evidence against the regime
Indeed, these cyber-activists hacked many servers of the administration of the controversial president. The data obtained would constitute a great deal of evidence of crimes committed by the police. The hackers discovered that the authorities are covering up the real death rate of Covid-19 in the country, but also numerous audio files of recordings on the leaders and the police services.
The spokesperson for the hacker group told the MIT Technology Review that their objective is to bring the country back to the rule of law and to put an end to the tyranny that the regime exercises over the population. The group would be made up of fifteen IT experts, but among them, only four experts would deal with hacking. The rest would be tasked with sorting and analyzing the hacked data.
