All the cyber wars between Algeria and Morocco

What happens in the cyberspace between Algeria and Morocco

The contrasts between Algeria and Morocco also pass through cyber warfare. In fact, on 22 November the website of the general confederation of companies in Morocco was the subject of a cyber attack called defacement with which the company's home page was changed by replacing it with an Algerian flag followed by an all-too-explicit declaration stating that it did not there can be no peace between the systems.

Is this a first case? In reverse. At the beginning of November, the Moroccan hacker group called “Moroccohack Team” carried out a cyber attack on the Algerian Ministry of Finance.

Again this is nothing new as the same group attacked several Algerian websites last year. Morocco for its part has protected itself by creating a specific department for cyber protection, namely the Directorate General for the Security of Information Systems (DGSSI), which is subordinate to the National Defense Administration. Furthermore, in order to strengthen its cyber perimeter, Morocco has signed a bilateral agreement with Israel precisely in relation to the security of the cyber perimeter.
