The defaced pages were replaced with visuals, including embedded media content and political slogans. The threat group has a recurring pattern of targeting Moroccan websites, using Zone-H and OwnzYou to archive their attacks.
This incident highlights the ongoing wave of website defacement attacks impacting small and medium businesses across North Africa.
While these incidents appear to be primarily hacktivism-driven rather than financially motivated, defacements can damage brand reputation and erode customer trust.The use of public defacement archives makes it easier for other actors to replicate or amplify the attack.
