Profile

The organization is known by the aliases Center for Information and Decision Support and its acronym CDSC. Its headquarters is located in Egypt. The name itself indicates a mandate to provide information and decision‑support functions. Beyond the name, no further details about its specific products, services, or market scope are supplied in the source material.

On 22 October 2015, the group Anonymous Rabaa carried out a coordinated cyber‑attack against several Egyptian government websites, including the presidency and the Center for Information and Decision Support. The attackers defaced the main pages of the targeted sites, forced temporary shutdowns, and posted protest messages along with screenshots that allegedly showed human‑rights abuses. Proof of the compromise was shared on third‑party platforms to demonstrate the breach. Officials later stated that no major systems or data were compromised, although the affected sites experienced downtime during the incident.

The hackers denied any affiliation with banned Islamist groups and framed their actions as a defense of victims of state violence, specifically referencing the Rabaa square massacre and ongoing political repression. No additional information about the organization’s size, ownership, parent‑subsidiary relationships, or notable competencies is available in the provided sources. Consequently, the profile is limited to the confirmed facts of its aliases, location, and the described 2015 cyber‑incident.
