France has been widely criticized for publishing caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). In addition to the criticism, the country’s products have been boycotted. At the same time, hackers from different countries are also carrying out cyber attacks on the internet in France.
The first attack on several sites in the country was carried out by a member of Cyber-71, an organization working on cyber security in Bangladesh. Later, hackers from different countries of the world also joined them.
Various French websites are constantly under attack by hackers. As a result, the country has been forced to issue an urgent ‘cyber security alert’.
France’s government cyber department issued the emergency warning in a tweet on Sunday (October 25th). Several members of the Cyber 71 community have told the media that cyber attacks have been carried out in France since midnight last Saturday (October 24).
This time on Tuesday, Cyber-71 announced a bigger cyber attack. The announcement was made on their official Facebook page in the afternoon.
The move against France has been dubbed ‘Operation France’ (OPFR). A group with this name has also been opened on social media Facebook. 72,000 people have already responded there.
A post on the Cyber-71 page about the attack on Tuesday (October 26th) said, “Our target today is the newspaper that published caricatures aimed at the Prophet (peace be upon him).”
When contacted by NatunNews Monitor, a cyber expert involved in the attack (who did not want to be named) said, “No one has yet shown the courage to attack Shirley Ebde’s site. The French government provides them with cyber security. We are going to attack at least 10,000 hackers together. We are coming, we will succeed. ‘
The post of Cyber-71 is highlighted for the reader:
‘I heard one thing, that’s what I’m going to tell you today. Hazrat Ibrahim (AS)When someone was thrown into the fire, a frog urinated on the fire.
The Frogs was asked, why did you urinate in this fire? The frog said, maybe my urine won’t quench this fire; But I did as much as I could in protest.
Dear comrades-in-arms, today we have set a target that no one has ever dared to touch. The idea is to ensure state-sponsored cyber security. I know for sure, if we attack less than 10 thousand together, then maybe the site will not be able to download anyway.
So, today we need lots of active members who are Rasul (SAW)To attack the magazine which has made caricatures about who. Take responsibility for yourself, tell your 5 friends who have computer and internet connection at home about our group. Call if necessary, but still take part in today’s event with at least 5 friends.
Inshallah we will succeed. ”
