Tunisian Hackers Threaten the U.S. with "Week of Horror" in July

In a video-clip posted on the Internet on April 12, 2014, the “Tunisian Hackers Team” threatens to attack the U.S. financial sector and air traffic control in July 2014 unless U.S. forces are withdrawn from Muslim lands. In an address to U.S. President Obama, the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI and the CIA, the group claims to have carried out cyber-attacks in September 2013 and to have hacked into the Bancorp bank.


Following are excerpts:

Title:"Tunisian_Hackers Team Present #TheWeekOfHorror"


Digital voice: Dear President of the United States, dear Department of Homeland Security, dear FBI administration in Washington, dear Central Intelligence Agency - this is the Tunisian Hackers Team.


We warned you a few months ago, in Operation USA, released by our team, that if you keep ignoring us, we will carry out Operation Week of Horror in July 2014. We promise that it will be more painful than a secret attack by Tunisian Hackers Team members in September 2013 against your financial sector. Today, the first Bancorp Bank has been hacked, and more than 12,000 users are in danger, and more…


So we repeat it again: If you don't declare that you will remove your army from our beloved lands of Muhammad, we will increase the level of our operation. We will attack not only your financial sector, but next time, there will be an attack on your airness [sic]. We will work on gaining control of your airports' computers – and you know very well that we can do this – and of the electronic sector.


So we will give you more and more time to think, and reply to us on Twitter via @XhackerTN, or else we will realize our plan. Expect us. We are the cyber boss. We are the Tunisian Hackers Team.
