Muslim Brotherhood

The Muslim Brotherhood, also known as the Society of the Muslim Brothers, Ikhwan, or Al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun, is an organization headquartered in Egypt. Its publicly known operational footprint includes maintaining an official website and being affiliated with a political party, indicating an active role in political and ideological discourse. The group's activities are centered on promoting its ideological positions through digital platforms and formal political engagement, serving a constituency aligned with its principles. Its existence as a named entity with an online presence and political affiliation defines its core operational scope, though specific details on its full range of services or market reach are not provided in the available information.

In June 2016, the organization's official website and its affiliated political party's site were targeted by a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack executed by an individual using the handle SkyNetCentral. This attack successfully rendered both platforms offline despite existing protective measures. The perpetrator also compromised portions of the group's database, resulting in the leakage of data that included commenters' IP addresses, email exchanges, and names. The attacker publicly stated the motive was ideological opposition, equating the organization with extremist groups. The breach did not involve access to highly sensitive information according to the incident summary. This event represents a documented cybersecurity incident directly involving the organization's digital assets and data.
