Cyber-Attacks : Hacking
1.#OpQatar reached mainstream media on year 2013, but
its first related major instance of hacking was recorded
last May 2017, when Qatar News Agency's website was
anonymously hacked and slandered.
2.The hackers posted a quote that they attributed to
Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, Qatar's current emir,
which was about his complaint to US Foreign Policy and
his alleged support of Islamic extremist groups.
3.Qatar denied its validity afterwards and related the
whole incident to hackers backed by UAE government,
which they deny as well.

1.Another targeted hacking was reported
on September of last year, when Qatar
state website was hacked by Anonymous -
a secret decentralized hacktivist
organization.

2.They outrightly mentioned the attack
coming from Saudi Arabia, which leads to
conclude that the motivation for the
attack was likely due to disputes between
Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

1.Fast forward to this year and it appears that #OpQatar related hacks are even
stronger and more coordinated than ever.
2.Just this month, anonymous hackers managed to leak sensitive documents and
images from Qatar Customs to public Internet.
3.They have also penetrated legitimate markets in Qatar and leaked its rules and
relationships with regard to social sites and their government.
4.Moreover, a great number of leaked private IDs and documentations were
released by several anonymous hackers - all Qatari citizens.

1.Hacking incidents such as these will surely continue
for the coming weeks, as warned by one of the
anonymous hackers in one of their tweets.
2.Whether living inside the State of Qatar or not,
#OpQatar proves how we take Cyber Security for
granted.
3.Hackers only need to get creative and they can bypass
a lot of tried and tested defenses.
4.Ideally all cyber defenses should continually be put to
the test, and once in a while adapt a hacker's mindset.

But in actuality, nothing is perpetually invulnerable these days, and so organizations
that highly value information security should devote a lot of their resources and effort
designing ways to mitigate losses if a security breach happens.
