threat group known as Anonymous Sudan claimed that they were the ones who took down Cloudflare's website in a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.
Anonymous Sudan (aka Storm-1359) also claimed a DDoS attack that took down OpenAI's ChatGPT bot on Wednesday
--- via their telegram
Cloudflare confirmed that the outage resulted from a DDoS attack that only affected the www.cloudflare.com website without impacting other products or services.
@AkomoCombine well, Anonymous Sudan always claim to be targeting countries and organizations interfering with Sudanese politics
"just an attack to show them cloudflare protection is very bad" they said when targeting OpenAi
so.... 🤷♂️
while some analysts believe their claim for doing attacks to be a false flag and link the group to Russia instead
Anonymous Sudan posted this after getting mass media attention for cloudflare and chatGPT attacks
more about advertising Skynet botnet then any alleged idealist cause.
@ecksmc The purpose of the attack?
