Hacker Charged With Seeking to Kill Using Cyberattacks on Hospitals - Wired

Quick Summary:

The US has accused two brothers of being part of the hacker group Anonymous Sudan, which allegedly went on a wild cyberattack spree that hit hundreds of targets—and, for one of the two men, even put lives at risk.

Aside from its targeting and politics, the group has distinguished itself through a relatively novel and effective technical approach, Akamai's Seaman says: Its DDoS service was built by gaining access to hundreds or possibly even thousands of virtual private servers—often-powerful machines offered by cloud services companies—by renting them with fraudulent credentials.

As Israel's ensuing bombardment and invasion of the Gaza strip killed tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians over the months that followed, Anonymous Sudan frequently described the motivation for its attacks in its Telegram posts as the defense of Palestinians.
