CYFIRMA Research- EXPLAINER: THE ALGERIA / MOROCCO TENSIONS

CYFIRMA

Geopolitical tensions between Algeria and Morocco have reignited over the Western Sahara issue. Hacktivist groups have exacerbated the situation by targeting each other’s critical infrastructure. Algerian hacktivists claimed to have breached Morocco's CNSS, while Moroccan hacktivists alleged, they had hacked and leaked data from Algeria's MGPTT. However, such claims often prove to involve old or publicly accessible data rather than new breaches. Despite this, these actions significantly disrupt everyday life, such as through DDoS attacks on websites essential for daily activities, thereby impacting ordinary citizens.
