AnonGhost 'to hack UAE energy firms on Friday'
UAE firms Adnoc, Enoc at risk as hackivists protest use of dollar as benchmark in oil and gas trades
Dubai: AnonGhost, a politically motivated group of hacktivists, is planning to launch cyber attacks on oil, gas and energy companies globally, including Adnoc and Enoc in the UAE, on Friday, for using dollars to buy and sell oil.
This is according to a YouTube post link tweeted up by the AnonGhost team on Tuesday.
“Petrol is sold in US dollars and Saudi Arabia has betrayed Muslims with their cooperation. So why isn’t petrol sold with the currency of the country which exports it? Because the Zionists own us like that,” AnonGhost said on the YouTube post.
“It is a follow-up from the #opPetrol operation in 2013. They [Anonymous] are serious about its political message and they will deliver it,” Nicolai Solling, director of technology services at Help AG, told Gulf News.
