Anonymous Claims Responsibility for Attack on Miraflores TV
In August 2024, the hacktivist group Anonymous allegedly launched a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack against Miraflores TV, a media outlet owned by the Venezuelan government. The incident was part of a broader wave of cyber operations targeting state-affiliated infrastructure in Venezuela. While the attack was intended to disrupt the broadcaster’s online presence and accessibility, it has not yet been confirmed whether any data was compromised or whether the organization suffered significant material losses as a result of the disruption.
