Anonymous Cuba

Profile narrative

Anonymous Cuba, also known as La Resistencia Cuba, is a threat actor that identifies itself as a group of Cuban hackers advocating for human rights, autonomy, self‑governance, resistance to tyranny, and the freedom of the Cuban people. The actor is based in Cuba and operates under the aliases Anonymous Cuba and La Resistencia Cuba, which appear on social media accounts linked to the group. No further details about the actor’s size, structure, or internal organization are publicly available.

On January 6 2023, Anonymous Cuba disabled certain departmental web pages of the University of Havana in protest against government repression and societal conditions. The group framed the action as a response to a message from Cuban President Miguel Díaz‑Canel and used the hashtag #SOSCUBA to publicize its motivations on Twitter. In a statement posted by the La Resistencia Cuba account, the actors described the defacement as a way to highlight what they characterized as systemic misery and repression, asserting that they could not let the day pass without taking action. The incident was limited to web‑page disruption and no technical details regarding malware, exploit methods, or post‑exploitation activity were reported.

Publicly available sources do not provide information on the actor’s typical targeting patterns beyond the University of Havana incident, nor do they describe specific malware families, initial access vectors, or tooling styles employed by Anonymous Cuba. No affiliations with state entities, criminal consortia, or other hacker groups have been established in open‑source reporting. Consequently, no additional campaigns or operations attributed to this actor have been documented in the material provided. The only confirmed operation remains the defacement of the University of Havana web pages carried out for political protest purposes.
