Anonymous Hacks South Africa’s Department of Water Affairs

Members of the World Hacker Team, one of Anonymous’ subdivisions, have breached South Africa’s Department of Water Affairs (DWA) as part of the group’s #OpAfrica and #OpMonsanto campaigns.

#OpAfrica is an Anonymous social campaign launched to highlight the situation of child labor and government corruption in African countries.

The campaign started a few weeks back, and the hacktivists involved in the campaign have targeted Rwanda, Uganda, and multiple targets in South Africa. Their most recent campaign, before this incident, involved the mass defacement of 2,532 websites running on the servers of Webafrica, a local Web hosting provider.

This time around, the hackers have targeted another government institution, namely the official website of the Department of Water Affairs. For the full article click here
