JB

Hacktivists from Team GhostShell have initiated ProjectSunRise, a campaign that focuses on “Africa’s heart.” As part of this operation, the hackers have targeted organizations from South Africa, but also from other countries such as Nigeria, Algeria, Kenya and Angola.

“In South Africa things have become progressively worse since Mandela stepped down. The gangs have become stronger, bigger, and more ruthless than ever. We rest on our Loral's that we are a free nation however all that has happened is the poor have become poorer and the rich have become richer,” Team GhostShell said.

“Companies like Anglo American have decimated our vast natural resources and have paid our local workers next to nothing. In a result of that they have become angry leading to multiple strikes that have crippled our economy,” they added.
