A group of hackers called Mysterious Team, made multiple Senegalese government websites go offline overnight on Friday by hitting them with denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, a government spokesperson says.
The attacks come at a time of heightened political tension sin Senegal, widely seen as one of West Africa’ most stable democracies.
As of Saturday afternoon, the presidency’s site was online but other official websites still appeared to be offline, including the government and finance ministry sites. The country has been shaken by more than 2 years of sometimes violent protests over a host of issues including fears among the opposition that Sall may seek a third term in office in the February 2024 election.
