The Swedish SVT broadcaster reported that a group called “Anonymous Sudan” had taken credit for the attack posting on Telegram that Swedish media would be attacked as a result of Koran burnings in Sweden. Meanwhile, pro-Russian hackers from the UserSec group said on Telegram they were helping Anonymous Sudan attack Sweden’s airports.
