This is private initiative which calls for the investigation on cyber security incident which affected several businesses government websites in Tanzania on Nov 2012. The incident targeted various websites which include government and private companies’ websites and caused damage and several hours to days of unavailability. The hacking attack incident left several websites with burners and message from the attacker.
While we understand such attack may happened and normal attack phenomena, but we have decided to look on other side of the coin as well and make it broad by associate it with business related kind of attack which may have hidden agenda.
It is our purpose to conduct a simple investigation on the incident to unveil among others where it was originated, what was the purpose of the attacker, why it was possible to attack all group of websites at same time, where was the weak control points, could it be possible that attacker was funded?  There are so many questions which need to be answered.
