Hacktivists? More like 'hacktivists with government funding'. Now that's a new one!

Gotta love how the government is trying to fund their own downfall. Classic case of hacktivism, no doubt about it.

Cyber terrorists? Really? That's a bit of a stretch, don't you think? This screams hacktivism all the way.

I'm not sure about this one. The use of anonymous bank accounts makes me think it could be state-sponsored hackers, but the defacing and data exfiltration seems more like the work of hacktivists.

So maybe it's a combination of both threat actors working together.

But the actions of defacing government websites and exfiltrating data align more with hacktivists.

I'm not sure, but I think they could also be cyber terrorists since they are causing harm to the government.

I agree with Darrin, they are likely hacktivists because they are targeting government websites.

This sounds like a classic case of hacktivism to me. The government official is clearly trying to fund these individuals to disrupt the government websites and data.
