After the massive hack of the social network ''X'' last Monday, a cyber group operating from the ''Telegram'' platform claimed responsibility for the attack on the servers.
Although numerous motivations were initially considered for why the attack might have been carried out, the same group specified the true reasons.
The expert in artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies, Ed Krassenstein, held a conversation with the cyber group with strong links to terrorist groups like Hamas.

Despite the existence of a purely political motive in the background, the members of ''Dark Storm'' expressed that the attack on Twitter's servers was mainly focused on showing strength.
The organization took advantage of these statements to ensure that they didn't know how long their actions against the social network would last.
In their eagerness to demonstrate their capabilities to disrupt a company's daily functions, the cyber terrorists indicated what their next targets will be.

According to the conversations held with Krassenstein, the next victims of these attacks would be the virtual financial services ''SEDAD Wallet'' and ''GBM Banque'', which function as virtual banks.
Both banks are part of the largest financial network in Mauritania, with significant operations throughout the African continent. ''Dark Storm'' aims for a coordinated attack on their virtual wallet services.
The cyber terrorists' goal would be to discredit the statements of the financial institutions, which had mentioned that their operations could not be compromised.
After providing the names of the banks, the Telegram group assured that the bank they are targeting handles 90% of the liquidity in Mauritania and will not be able to stop the hack.

According to the leader of this cyber group, the attack on the virtual wallets in the African country would be carried out this month. The described method is to disable the mobile application and they assured that they will not stop the attack even in exchange for payment.
In the last hours of Monday, the owner of X, Elon Musk, claimed that the strikers' IPs originated from Ukraine, which the leader of this terrorist organization denied.
In conversations with Krassenstein, the cyber strikers requested the owner of the social network to provide evidence linking Ukraine to the hack and indicated that an attack of the same caliber could be carried out against Tesla.

As part of a digital effort carried out by Israeli cybersecurity forces, a hack was conducted on this terrorist group, which revealed a history of hacks on several major organizations.
In addition to having severely punished the most popular social network in the world, the pro-Hamas association also attacked major organizations such as NATO, Israel, the U.S. education sector, and even Ukraine.
