El Peruano Website Disrupted as Deface Perú Claims Attack on Legal Bulletin

Hacktivists framed the action as a protest linked to recent demonstrations.

Overview

  • On September 28, users saw the state gazette’s site go blank, cutting access to the Normas Legales section and historical files.
  • The disruption coincided with the scheduled publication of the regulation for the eighth AFP withdrawal, limiting public access to that rule.
  • Deface Perú claimed responsibility on Telegram and shared screenshots and messages, while El Peruano rejected a hacking narrative and cited heavy traffic.
  • Users reported altered messages within Normas Legales, and the collective hinted at future operations, mentioning the intelligence service as a possible target.
  • Unnamed telecom-sector sources said a technical investigation had begun, as experts warned the outage delays dissemination without affecting the legal validity of norms.
