Muslim Hackers Are Plotting a Major Attack on Big Oil
A hacker group calling itself AnonGhost has claimed responsibility for defacing hundreds of websites and doxing 500 names and credit card numbers, part of a religiously motivated cyberattack campaign called #OpPetrol.
The operation is targeting corporate websites from oil-rich countries in the Middle East and the West, to protest what it calls exploitation via the currency of oil and gas. AnonGhost, which has a history of targeting Israeli websites, wrote in a message on Pastebin that the corporations and governments being targeted have created a world order built on the “Petro Dollar,” which fundamentally dehumanizes the economy.

The group is planning cyberattacks on oil and gas corporations in the United States, Canada, England, Israel, China, Italy, France, Russia, and Germany, and government websites in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar.
The self-described Muslim hackers claim they’ve already defaced hundreds of sites to protest American imperialism and the global dominance of the greenback, seeing Saudi Arabia’s cooperation with the US as a betrayal of Muslim values.
“The new world order installed their own rules so that they can control us like robots,” the message reads.
So far, few of the websites affected seem to have anything to do with the oil industry, however. The main attack is planned for June 30.
