Anonymous reports data leak from the Bolivarian Military Aviation (AMB) (August 17, 2024)
In August 2024, the threat actor AnonHuntersLatam, affiliated with Anonymous, claimed to have hacked the Bolivarian Military Aviation (AMB). According to reports, the attackers exposed internal systems such as the Bolivarian Military Aviation Integrated System (SIAMB) and opened ports on aviacion.mil.ve. The incident may have exposed personal information, including unencrypted user IDs and passwords, although it is unclear whether any substantive data was leaked beyond the identification of open ports and login portals.
