- “cms.etisalat.ae”
- “support.etisalat.ae”
- “www.etisalat.ae”
- “www.support.etisalat.ae”
“cms.etisalat.ae”Additionally, the group claimed to have targeted several other significant organizations in the UAE, disabling their systems. These organizations include:
- UAE PASS
- Dubai Islamic Bank
- First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB)
- WAM
- Zayed International Airport
- Dubai Electric & Water Authority (DEWA)
The group’s leader, “Darkmeta,” made the following statements:
“The attacks that have been carried out are nothing but the beginning β merely the tip of the iceberg compared to our true power. We successfully targeted and disabled more than five organizations in under a week’s time. Our actions speak louder than words, and we will continue to challenge and expose any injustice we encounter. This is only the beginning of our mission to hold accountable those who oppose our cause.”
These claims by the ππ_ πππππππππ group highlight a significant cybersecurity threat, though they remain allegations at this stage. The targeted companies are likely working to assess and mitigate the damage caused by these attacks.
