This is the best summary I could come up with:


A hacking group called Anonymous Sudan is claiming responsibility for some of the ChatGPT outages that have occurred in recent months.

OpenAI did not provide a reason for the recent major outage, but Anonymous Sudan claimed responsibility saying it would “continue targeting ChatGPT until the genocide supporter, Tal Broda is fired and ChatGPT stops having dehumanizing views of Palestinians,” on its channel on the messaging platform Telegram on December 13.

Anonymous Sudan relies on a technique called denial-of-service, or DDoS, attacks which are used to flood a target service with synthetically generated traffic.

While Anonymous Sudan has launched a wave of attacks across the world in recent months, it’s not clear whether its motivations are to combat Islamophobia, target what it sees as pro-Israel organizations, or something else entirely.

The group has taken responsibility for a series of attacks in Europe that were “apparently in retaliation for perceived anti-Islamic activity,” according to the cybersecurity news site Dark Reading.

The group also took X down for around two hours in August reportedly noting on Telegram at the time: “Make our message reach to Elon Musk: ‘Open Starlink in Sudan,’” according to the BBC.
