Anonymous Complains About Defacement of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) Website
On August 20, 2024, the hacktivist group Anonymous, specifically associated with the handle 'nel00d,' carried out a series of website defacements targeting multiple subdomains of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV). The targeted subdomains included those belonging to prominent party figures such as Titina Azuaje, Farith Fraija, Elías Jaua, Winston Vallenilla, and Ernesto Villegas. This incident was part of the broader #OpVenezuela campaign launched in response to the 2024 Venezuelan presidential election. While the sites were successfully defaced with political messages, there is no conclusive evidence of data exfiltration or permanent material losses resulting from this specific event.
