Europe 1
They are not at their first attempt. Before launching a cyber attack against the major French TV channel TV5 Monde, soldiers (or hackers, it depends) of “CyberCaliphate” (Cyber Caliphate in French) had already hit the United States, where they had hacked the Twitter account of the military high command of the American army and Newsweek but also in Malaysia, by attacking the website of Malaysia Airlines. Their latest is dated digital weapon: publishing a list marines who took part in the fighting against the organization of the Islamic State (EI) including personal data
attack. , questions . The fact remains that the attack against TV5 Monde remains the most violent and most successful of them. Once the amazement of past event, a question arises as to any terrorist act, how to be sure that these attacks, all claimed by the same group called “Cyber Caliphate” are the work of the same individuals? And to what degree are these hackers linked, as they proclaim the IC?
hard to ensure the direct link between the Cyber Caliphate and EI. “In the name of Allah the all Merciful, the Most Merciful, the Cyber Caliphate continues lead his cyber jihad against the enemies of the Islamic state. ” That’s what it said on the account of TV5 Monde Wednesday night. A message that seems very clear affiliation of hackers. The information that EI was setting up as a battalion on the Web was launched by Fox News in September (in English). However, Le Monde reports that the links between these cyber jihadists and EI are “highly uncertain.” An element supports this analysis: the accounts of the principal spokesman for the IU present on the Web remained strangely inactive Thursday, so they could enjoy this victory for the digital needs of their propaganda.
Disturbing linguistic errors. In addition, the broadcast messages Cyber Caliphate include many spelling mistakes in their Arabic. Suggesting that their authors are not Arabic speakers. An interpretation further enhanced by the use of ISIS acronym (acronym for the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant in English) used by Westerners and not by the IE itself.
Many groups are trying to enjoy the exhibition of IE. Another reason to doubt the direct affiliation Cyber Caliphate for IR, large groups of hackers who claim the same movement without being so. The “piracy division of the Islamic State”, for example, conducted several offensives. Asked Francetvinfo the cyber security consultant Gérôme Billois abounds: “It is very difficult to identify the hackers, who use anonymization systems.” Impossible to know if these hackers are actually run by the Islamic state, where they act on their own in claiming the movement.
Substantial resources One thing is certain. With this attack against TV5 Monde, the Cyber Caliphate showed he had the means and skills to perpetrate cyber attacks reaching. In fact, they managed to paralyze simultaneously Twitter and Facebook accounts, but also the website and especially the TV5 Monde broadcast network. Quite another feat that hacking a single Twitter account, which requires only recover password
