HACKERS HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF KUWAIT'S WEBS

  • 09/01/2022

Kuwait City: The Dark Web site, known for selling and dealing in stolen data, has taken everyone by surprise by displaying a massive set of data on Kuwaiti websites and destinations, in what is considered as a significant occurrence that puts the country's information security at risk. The website disclosed with proof that 887 Kuwaiti websites had fallen into the hands of vested interests and been hacked in recent days, as well as a massive amount of data and information, including over 4,360 files. The hacked websites ranged from government to private institutions offering a variety of services, education, communications, and online commerce. 


This electronic piracy emerged days after the referral of the President of the Kuwait Society for Information Security, Safa'a Zaman, to the Criminal Court, against the backdrop of her Kuwait TV talk about the risk of leakage and penetration of the state's data and information, which was denied by the government through its spokesperson at the time, without taking any necessary measures to protect information security in the country. 

The hacking of 887 Kuwaiti websites by was not the first of its sort. It was preceded by anthrax, which targeted government and private websites months ago, and banking and financial websites were hacked and robbed, and with the recurrence of these incidents, it is time for a decisive pause and the implementation of strict measures in accordance with international standards to prevent these breaches.
