Mysterious Team Bangladesh Threatens Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Middle East in 2023
A cybersecurity threat looms over Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. The hacktivist group, Mysterious Team Bangladesh, is expected to escalate its attacks in 2023, according to Group IB. The group, led by D4RK_TSN and expressing pro-Bangladeshi views, has been active since June 2022, conducting over 850 DDoS attacks.
Mysterious Team Bangladesh operates through multi-wave campaigns, focusing on specific countries. Australia is among the top three targeted nations, with 12.3% of the group's DDoS attacks directed towards it. In March, an Australian fashion designer's use of Arabic text for Allah resulted in DDoS attacks on Australian entities.
The group's primary targets include logistics, government, and financial sector entities in India and Israel. However, there's no concrete information about which countries or organizations, particularly financial institutions or government agencies, will be targeted besides Senegal. DDoS attacks constitute 88.4% of the group's activity, with occasional incidents of website defacement and database access. In February, Dutch and Swedish entities were targeted following a Quran-burning incident.
Mysterious Team Bangladesh, led by D4RK_TSN and expressing pro-Bangladeshi views, is expected to intensify its attacks in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East in 2023. Organizations, especially in Australia, India, Israel, and potentially Senegal, should enhance their cybersecurity measures to mitigate potential threats.
