Hackers target pro-lifers, claim to hit states with anti-abortion laws

A hacking group is targeting pro-life supporters and states with anti-abortion laws in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the landmark ruling that recognized a constitutional right to abortion.

SiegedSec claimed it victimized Arkansas and Kentucky and took government employees’ personally identifiable information.

“THE ATTACKS WILL CONTINUE! Our main targets are any pro-life entities, including government servers of the states with anti-abortion laws,” the hacking group wrote on Telegram. “KEEP PROTESTING, KEEP YOURSELF SAFE, F—- THE GOVERNMENT.”

The group said it is leaking files totaling about 7 to 8 gigabytes from government servers belonging to Arkansas and Kentucky that contain employees’ information.
