A post from a purported hacker group on a dark web forum claims to be selling access and data related to Libya’s election systems for $150,000. The post, from a group calling itself “Daily Dark Web,” states they have obtained voter registration databases, software systems, and network access credentials.
While the legitimacy of the post is unverified, it raises concerns about the security of Libya’s digital election infrastructure. Authorities have not yet commented on the alleged breach. Past elections in Libya have faced threats of cyber attacks and disinformation campaigns.
The alleged cyber attack underscores the need for proactive security measures to safeguard electoral data and systems. More information is likely to emerge on whether this incident constitutes a genuine breach.
