Anonymous Sudan, which emerged at the beginning of 2023, claimed to target countries involved in Sudanese politics and promoting anti-Muslim policies. However, cybersecurity researchers suspect that the group may be linked to the Kremlin-affiliated Killnet gang, suggesting that the Sudanese reference is a false flag intended to mislead observers. This suspicion gained further traction when Anonymous Sudan announced the formation of a “Darknet Parliament” in collaboration with Killnet and Revil, another pro-Russian gang. As their first target, the alliance threatened to attack SWIFT, the international interbanking system from which the US and EU had disconnected Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine in early 2022.
