ITEL suffers cyber attack from Anonymous group

In 2016, some official websites of the Angolan government ended up suffering a cyber attack by the renowned hacker group called Anonymous, as well as the last case of this dimension that occurred at Sonangol, but the latter without any connection to the group mentioned here.

But it seems that now ITEL (Instituto de Telecomunicações) ended up going through a similar situation, as information circulates on the Internet that the institution's website suffered a cyber attack on June 2, 2020.

According to the Angonoticias portal, Anonymous claimed an attack on the website of the Angolan Telecommunications Institute, registered under the address www.itel.gov.ao. The group of hackers posted information with the following words; “Break the padlocks, let go of the chains, live life as it is. Not as society forces you. We are anonymous, we are legion, we do not forgive, we hope ”, they conclude.

So far there has been no pronouncement by the ITEL management on this matter, to ensure that the website is up and running so far and the problem has been resolved.
