GlorySec, otherwise known by their unabridged name Glory Security, is an active hacktivist group known for their attacks on multiple countries. For instance, one of these attacks included airdropping worm-type malware stored on USB sticks in Venezuela, Guyana City. This was done in opposition to Maduro's regime, such as his human rights violations, economic mismanagement and erosion of democratic institutions. The estimated damage of this malware has been said to affect 100 companies. GlorySec align themselves under the belief of Avaritionism/Anarcho-capitalism and they have expressed their beliefs many times, carrying out their attacks under this belief and their attacks have brought attention to the malpractices of many countries, something they share in common with other hacktivist groups, GlorySec has started operations such as #OPVenezuela #OPPRC #OPChina #OPTerrorism #OPRussia.

GlorySec originally saw its advent upon the splitting of the original group GloryScroll, which birthed the group as it is known today. The group is a part of a chain of groups that make up the collective known as Gloria Quaerere founded by Charon Revv, which translates from Latin to "To Seek Glory" or may be reiterated as "To seek knowledge". The group remains active to this day, with a series of campaigns targeting countries that oppose the West or countries allied with it.

Beliefs and alignment

As is visible from their official Telegram group channel, the group is known for their beliefs in Avarationism and Anarcho-capitalism and it is expressed in the various political views they are seen to have. They align themselves with the West and have been doing so since their inception. Their earliest activity consisted of DDoSing Russian websites as well as helping Taiwanese and Japanese websites to secure themselves, both of which are Western allies. On the contrary, countries like Russia, Venezuela, China, North Korea are perceived as enemies to GlorySec. They stand against communism and target these countries for various reasons, mainly for their standing against the West and malpractices.

GlorySec's ideological beliefs

Anarcho-Capitalism

Individual Liberty: Anarcho-capitalism prioritizes individual freedom and autonomy. GlorySec advocates for a society where individuals have complete control over their lives and property without coercive interference from the state. This belief in personal sovereignty aligns with their operations, which often aim to expose and dismantle structures perceived as infringing on individual rights.

Free Markets: A core tenet of anarcho-capitalism is the belief in free-market capitalism as the most efficient and just economic system. GlorySec supports the idea that voluntary trade and competition lead to innovation, prosperity, and the fair distribution of resources. They argue that economic interactions should be governed by market forces rather than state-imposed regulations.

Minarchism

Minimal Government (Minarchism): While Anarcho-Capitalism advocates for the elimination of the state, minarchism supports a minimal state whose only roles are to protect individuals from aggression, theft, breach of contract, and fraud. GlorySec believes that a minimal state can effectively uphold individual rights and maintain order without encroaching on personal freedoms and economic activities, GlorySec believes to achieve Anarcho-Capitalism you have to slowly process from Minarchism towards Anarcho-Capitalism

Avaritionism

GlorySec's involvement in cybercrime and hacking is seen as a means to an end. They believe that these actions are justified if they help to destabilize authoritarian regimes and promote the establishment of anarcho-capitalist societies. In this context, Avaritionism's emphasis on acting according to one's desires aligns with their approach to using any means necessary to achieve their goals.

Opposition to Communist States

GlorySec's opposition to communist states is rooted in several key arguments

Suppression of Dissent

Communist states are often criticized for their authoritarian tendencies and suppression of political dissent. GlorySec values transparency, freedom of expression, and accountability. They oppose regimes that restrict these freedoms and stifle opposition, seeing such practices as antithetical to their vision of a free and open society.

State Control and Coercion

Communist states are often characterized by significant state control over the economy and individual lives. GlorySec opposes such control, viewing it as a violation of personal freedoms and an impediment to individual autonomy. They argue that state coercion in communist regimes undermines the principles of voluntary association and free markets.

Economic Inefficiency

GlorySec critiques communist economic systems as inherently inefficient. They believe that central planning and the absence of market signals lead to resource misallocation, lack of innovation, and economic stagnation. In contrast, they advocate for free markets, which they argue are more dynamic and responsive to human needs and preferences.

Timeline of attacks

These attacks come as is written from their official Telegram channel. Where articles are written on an attack, they will be referenced as usual. These are attacks they have claimed responsibility or joint-responsibility for.

Minor activity

August 9 2023 - September 8 2023

Between these dates just after their inception, GlorySec claimed responsibility for multiple data-breaches, ranging from a site based in Veliky Novgorod to DDoSes on multiple Russian websites and performing UDF payloads.

National Bank of Pakistan breach

Directly after establishing new management behind the scenes, on September 9th 2023, they breached the National Bank of Pakistan. They claimed access to the personal information of all investors of the bank through this breach and uncovered 1.7 gigabytes of data through this breach which they then leaked on their public channel. Through this breach, GlorySec accused investors of supporting and supplying 21 terrorist groups including ISIS, Al Qaeda and the Taliban. The attack was done as a result of Pakistan strengthening their relations to Iran and Russia. While it is unknown if this attack was done through the efforts of GlorySec or whether they claim joint-responsibility for this with other hacker groups, this is where their collaborations began with GhostSec and KromSec. This is also where their campaign #OPTerrorism began.

Parliament of Pakistan breach

Some time after the National Bank of Pakistan breach in what seemed to a follow-up attack, on September 14th 2023, they breached the Parliament of Pakistan in a breach that contained 4.3 gigabytes of data, leaking data of every politician in Pakistan. The database of the Parliament of Pakistan was leaked and while it is unknown whether any specific follow-up attacks were done through this data, it is known that this attack was completed in opposition to Pakistan's support to Al Qaeda and other groups of the like.

Attacks on high profile Russian government websites

On September 19th 2023, GlorySec performed attacks on high profile Russian government websites (specifically kremlin.ru, gov.ru and government.ru). The DDoS attack took down their websites and meant that the websites were inaccessible to over 30 countries.

June 27, 2024 GlorySec released the Republic of China Emblem on their Telegram channel depicting a clear support in Freeing Chinese people from the CCP

Maria Vladimirovna Vorontsova and Jorrit Joost Faassen dox

A dox that originally began with DoomSec, it was later continued and published on September 23rd 2023, adding on extra personal information of Maria Vladimirovna Vorontsova and added the personal information of Jorrit Joost Faassen. These doxes were likely done as a result of Maria Vladimirovna Vorontsova being the daughter of Vladimir Putin. Jorrit Joost Faassen was revealed to be oligarch that works for Gazprom through this dox, his motives (from the perspective of GlorySec) believed to be driven around money.

Government of South Africa (ORTAMBODM) breach

In partnership with Anonymous, this data-breach (estimated worth supposedly $10,000) was released by GlorySec on September 30th 2023 for free in opposition to both the Government of South Africa but also to send a message to other hacktivist group, challenging their standing as hacktivists. GlorySec challenged the intentions of hacktivism groups labelling them as 'evil.'

Cyber attack on Palestine

In response to the Israel-Palestine conflict and in their expression of disaccord with Hamas, GlorySec released a data dump on November 30 2023 containing an estimated amount of 500 gigabytes of PCBS data. The data contained confidential data in connection to Palestine's government institutions and while the hack gained them access to the entire database, in a deliberate move, they did not disclose the entire database; instead opting to disclose specific information. This data dump was believed to be done in a move to seize victory over Hamas in their cyber war; however with no conclusions to the conflict, this is uncertain.

Cyber Attack on Iran

After their return to activity on January 13th 2024, GlorySec claimed responsibiltiy for attacks on an estimated 50 Iranian websites, performing data dumps on them. Shortly after this on January 17th 2024, in response to an attack from the Houthi movement on US cargo ships, GlorySec under their #OPTerrorism campaign, dumped multiple Iranian and Yemeni websites including an Iranian plantation and laboratory.

Attack on Russia's Greenfield and Technology Sectors

On February 16th 2024, it was announced that with the efforts of their members, they had been continuing their activity behind the scenes and to show this, a "sample" dump was shown containing dumped data on a Russian construction company. Two days later on February 18th 2024, GlorySec released data dumps on Russia's greenfield & technology sectors. The data seized was 35 gigabytes of data on Russia's greenfield sector, and 1 gigabyte of data on Russia's technology sector.

Attack on Russian FSB and Russian State Duma

On March 15th, 2024, GlorySA, a newly launched group within Gloria Quaerere, officially joined the #OPRussia campaign. They announced their arrival with a significant cyber attack, claiming access to secret FSS (FSB), FIS (SVR), and MID (GRU) files for use in future operations. In this initial operation, GlorySA successfully attacked and downed the FSB and the Russian State Duma websites, marking their entrance into the cyber warfare scene alongside GlorySec.

Attack on Russian production and Ministry of Safety

On March 18th, 2024, GlorySec executed a follow-up cyber attack targeting the Russian production sector and the Ministry of Safety. This operation resulted in the infiltration and data dump of 13 gigabytes of sensitive information from these entities. This attack is part of their ongoing #OPRussia and #OPTerrorism campaigns aimed at disrupting Russian operations and advocating for the liberation of the Russian people. Here we see them crediting operators inside their post, Charon Stab, Charon Residual, and Charon Dex. Afterwards, they credit themselves inside their files.

Warning to Bangladesh and Indonesia

GlorySec has already targeted 2000 Bengali and Indonesian websites in response to these activities. GlorySec provided IP addresses of one of the Bengali black hats to aid in the apprehension. Additionally, GlorySec released a data dump related to Bangladesh. GlorySec emphasized the urgency of their ultimatum. This operation was a part of their ongoing #OPTerrorism campaign, reflecting their commitment to combating cyber threats and holding accountable those who support or engage in cyber terrorism.

Operation against Venezuela

On April 6th, 2024, GlorySec targeted Venezuela, condemning the leadership of President Nicolás Maduro for human rights abuses and political repression. The operation highlighted several critical issues:

Political Repression: The Maduro government has been criticized for suppressing political dissent and opposition voices. Reports suggest arbitrary arrests, censorship, and intimidation tactics are used to silence critics and maintain power. Economic Crisis: Venezuela is in the midst of a severe economic crisis marked by hyperinflation, shortages of basic goods, and a sharp decline in living standards. Many attribute this crisis to government mismanagement and corruption. Humanitarian Crisis: The economic downturn has led to a humanitarian crisis, with millions of Venezuelans lacking access to adequate food, medicine, and healthcare. The situation has forced many to flee the country in search of better living conditions. Violence and Crime: Venezuela has one of the highest homicide rates globally, with widespread violence and crime. Critics argue that the government has failed to address the root causes of these issues. Allegations of Election Fraud: Elections in Venezuela, including the controversial 2018 presidential election, have been marred by allegations of fraud and irregularities. Many international observers have questioned the legitimacy of these elections.

Despite these challenges, the Venezuelan government often denies allegations of wrongdoing, blaming external factors such as sanctions and foreign interference for the country's problems. The people of Venezuela continue to endure immense hardship, and it is crucial for the international community to support efforts to address the crisis and uphold human rights in the country.
