Hacker Claims Attack on Brazilian Court; Court Says It Was a Technical Fault
Listen to the story
A hacker called Azael says he attacked a court website in Brazil. The court is called TJMS. It is in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.
Azael says he made the TJMS website go down. The court does not agree. The court says there was no attack. It says there was only a small technical problem.
The lawyers' group OAB/MS also sent a warning. It said two court systems had problems. The systems are called e-SAJ and Eproc. People use them for legal work.
Azael is known as the 'Fapec hacker'. He attacked a system called Fapec before. Now he says he is back.
