A massive cyber attack that took down government websites in Venezuela
earlier this week also has left seven million mobile phone users without
service, the government said today.
A group that calls itself The Binary Guardians claimed responsibility
for attacks that targeted the websites of the government, the supreme
court and the National Assembly.
"These terrorist actions which affected the Movilnet's GSM platform on
Wednesday left without communication seven of the state operator's 13
million users," Science and Technology Minister Hugbel Roa said.
Venezuela has two other private mobile phone operators: Spanish-owned Movistar and Digitel.
Roa said the outage was part of a wave of attacks that began on Monday
when dozens of government and private company websites were hacked.
Roa said there also have been nine cuts in the country's fiber optic
network, which has cut off already precarious internet service to seven
states.
"The attacks were carried out with the help of foreign agents, trying
once again to disrupt our country's connectivity," Roa said, adding that
an investigation was underway.
