CYBER THREAT ANALYSIS
Furthermore, the group also created an #OpMyanmar channel
on their webchat, https://webchat.anonops[.]com, for interested
individuals to have discussions in a protected environment. This
movement appears to be part of a larger initiative, #OpCCP, which
shows Anonymous’ actions against the Chinese Communist Party
and their support of the pro-democracy movements seen in East
and Southeast Asia. Additionally, Anonymous released a Burmese
translation of their memo on “Bypassing Internet Censorship”
that could be downloaded by members of the public.
The #OpMyanmar web chat channel encourages followers
to conduct distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against
websites that are associated with the Myanmar military. On
February 18, 2021, another group known as Myanmar Hackers
disrupted websites belonging to the Central Bank of Myanmar, a
Tatmadaw propaganda page, the state-run broadcast Myanmar
Radio and Television (MRTV), the Port Authority, and the Food
and Drug Administration. Later, on March 8, 2021, an Indonesian
hacking team called One Hat Cyber Team defaced the Myanmar
government trade website, myantrade.gov[.]mm, on behalf of the
Anonymous collective and #OpMyanmar.
