TeamHDP alters the flight information displays at Maiquetía and Porlamar airports with anti-Maduro messages

On July 6, 2021, the electronic flight information displays at Simón Bolívar International Airport in Maiquetía and Santiago Mariño International Airport in Porlamar showed the message “Maduro dictator” along with the acronym “DEA.” The @ThePinguinHDP account, founder of the hacktivist group TeamHDP, claimed responsibility for the incident, stating that it had only modified some data in the system. Airport authorities reported sabotage of their internet network, and SEBIN arrested Bolipuertos employee Humberto Félix Aviño Salazar as an alleged accomplice, while an arrest warrant was issued for Gerardo José Gil Dams.
