CyberTeam Claims Attack Against Compañía Anónima Nacional Teléfonos de Venezuela (Cantv)

On July 14, 2025, the hacktivist group CyberTeam claimed to have carried out a cyberattack against CANTV, Venezuela’s state-owned telecommunications provider. The claim comes from a single post on the OSINT aggregator VenariX-ES (X) that reposts content from the actor itself; there is no official confirmation or independent forensic validation. The claims of access to the “UISP network” and the disruption of internet, television, and telephone services do not appear in the cited public source and contradict the impact fields in the log (service_disrupted=false); they are considered unsubstantiated. The scope is unknown.
