The recent announcement from the Anonymous Collective hacker group has caused a stir in the dark web community. The group has unveiled a referral program for its Privacy Shield VPN and CloudStorm DDoS services, offering complimentary plans to individuals who successfully refer clients making purchases from their VPN and DDoS offerings.
This move is seen as a significant step forward in incentivizing the group’s clientele, with the referral program covering both the Privacy Shield VPN and CloudStorm DDoS services. The aim is to reward those who bring new customers into the fold, expanding the group’s reach and impact.
Under the program, if a referrer brings in a client who purchases any plan from the VPN service, they receive a free three-month plan. Similarly, for clients subscribing to any plan from the DDoS service, the referrer is granted three free hours to target and attack any specified destination. Notably, the value of the client’s purchase does not impact the rewards – a unique and inclusive approach by Anonymous Collective.
This development comes amidst Anonymous Collective’s recent threat to release hacked data from a major Egyptian government website. The group accuses the Egyptian government of misleading statements regarding their role in the Gaza humanitarian crisis, alleging a lack of support for Palestinians and hindrance to humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Anonymous Collective insists on an immediate policy shift, demanding that the Egyptian government provide assistance to Palestinian refugees and facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza. The threat of a substantial data leak looms large, with the group warning that if there is no response from the Egyptian government by the stipulated time, all exfiltrated data will be made public.
As the Anonymous Collective continues to make waves with its provocative actions, the introduction of the referral program adds a new dimension to its operations. It remains to be seen how this initiative will impact the group’s standing within the dark web world and whether it will attract a surge of new clients to their Privacy Shield VPN and CloudStorm DDoS services.
In conclusion, this recent development underscores the evolving strategies of hacker groups in the dark web, leveraging incentives to expand their client base and using their influence to demand political action. The impact of these actions, both on the digital landscape and in the geostrategic arena, is yet to unfold.
