The SeigedSec hacker group has added two more targets to their victim list as part of their ongoing operation, OpColombia. Cybersecurity researchers shared screenshots from the group’s website on the dark web after they claimed responsibility for various cyber attacks against Colombian entities, including the Central Board of Accountants cyber attack, which was among the latest hacks claimed by the group. SeigedSec has been active since 2022 and had carried out several cyber attacks against Colombian entities before calling it quits with OpColombia in their recent post.
Before bidding adieu, the SeigedSec hacker group named several websites on their victim list, including the Central Board of Accountants, the Regional Autonomous Corporation of the Northeastern Border, IBAL SA ESP, the Colombian Agriculture Institute, and the Bucaramanga Municipal Social Protection Fund. The Cyber Express reached out to the targeted organizations for comment.
SeigedSec hacked into the targeted websites, stole data from the system, and defaced them as the final step of the cyber attack. They collected user data from the Central Board of Accountants’ cyber attack and the website of the Local Hospital of Piedecuesta. Through this cyber attack as part of the OpColombia operation, the group stole nearly 6GB data, including databases, backend files, emails, confidential documents, identification cards, etc. They even claimed that they had targeted power supply controllers.
The post read, “While we exfiltrated lots of data, we unfortunately were unable to exfiltrate all emails, only a small portion.” The group claimed that the cyber attack on the Central Board of Accountants and other sites had shut down the affected systems. They claimed that the attack came in cooperation with Ghost Security or GhostSec, solidifying claims of both groups working together for other cyber attacks. SeigedSec has also been found to use its channels to announce cyber attacks made by the GhostSec group.
Earlier, SeigedSec had mentioned its plot to target Colombia because of the arrest of a fellow member named ‘Org0n.’ The group claimed over 30 Colombian websites at one instance in retaliation to Org0n’s arrest by Colombian authorities. The group even started a second version of OpColombia as v2. They targeted 30 radio broadcasts and eight government-affiliated satellite receivers from the country. SeigedSec is led by a renowned hacktivist called YourAnonWolf, according to a Dark Owl report, and they were suspected to have about seven members in their team, according to the 2022 report.
