The notorious hacktivist group, Anonymous Collective, has reportedly targeted the E Visa service of the Bahrain government. The cyberattack on E Visa service of the Bahrain government has raised concerns about the security of sensitive data, but crucial details regarding the extent of the breach, compromised information, and the motive behind the attack remain undisclosed. The Cyber Express team took immediate action and reached out to the official channels for verification of the cyberattack claim. However, as of now, there has been no response from the government’s end, leaving many questions unanswered. Upon conducting an independent investigation, Cyber Express found that the official website of the Bahrain government’s E Visa service appears to be fully functional. This discovery has cast doubt on the authenticity of Anonymous Collective’s cyberattack claim.

Anonymous Collective is known for its activism on various socio-political issues, often targeting organizations and governments it deems oppressive or involved in questionable activities. This cyberattack on the Bahrain government follows a similar pattern of cyberattacks orchestrated by Anonymous Collective.

The lack of an official statement has left both citizens and cybersecurity experts in suspense, eagerly awaiting clarification on the situation. These incidents highlight the pressing need for robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard sensitive government systems and citizens’ data. As the situation develops, the international community will be closely monitoring the Bahrain government’s response to this cyberattack, which could have far-reaching implications on both national security and diplomatic relations. The recurrent lack of official statements raises concerns about the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures and the challenges governments face in safeguarding their digital assets against determined adversaries.
