If you go to the website it’s blank, gone, deleted. Knock Knock? Who’s there? Nobody… nothing narra!
SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM FOR UPDATE
Mybroadband.co.za reported that a hacker group calling themselves the Mosima Hack Team is claiming all the glory for deleting the website.
“We have successfully hacked and deleted all contents within [the] ANC website,” the group said in an e-mailed statement. “We seized up documents which will be released to media very soon.”
Their response when asked why?
They said;
- South Africans should know the country is being run by people who serve themselves. (is this not Robin Hood making a comeback perhaps?)
- They are angry at the events that occurred at Zuma’s State of Nation address.
- “The ANC continues to violate human rights and uses Apartheid tactics to solve issues in Parliament,” the group said.
- Angry that Baleka Mbete along with her hand Thandi Modise called members of the South African Police Service to remove EFF members out of Parliament.
- They promised to fight for justice for those who are oppressed by the ANC.
Mosima Hack Team did not end this without a warning, they said that this hack was the ANC’s first warning.
ANC spokespeople were not aware of the hack 20 minutes after Mosima group claimed responsibility for the attack. They did however said they are investigating and will provide feedback as soon as possible. Hhhhmmm, wonder how long that is going to take?
WATCH: Zuma being told exactly how it is
UPDATE:
The website is back up now and latest info below.
Mybroadband.co.za reports: “A spokesperson for the ANC has confirmed that the website has been hacked and that their host is looking into it.”
enca.com reports: “What has happened is that they tried to sabotage it (the website) by flooding it with requests so that the server crashes,” ANC spokesperson Keith Khoza said.”
The “flooding” that Khoza mentioned, refers to a DDos attack whereby a server is flooded with massive amounts of traffic.
Going by the Twitter handle of “@zim4thewin”, Anonymous Africa, which only began tweeting on Wednesday, June 12, already had 460 followers by this morning. The number is climbing rapidly. Anonymous Africa also tweeted it would restore the ANC’s website, but with conditions attached.
