A group of Venezuelan cybercriminals, known as Team HDP, managed to breach the cybersecurity of the Ministry of People’s Power for Defense of the regime of Nicolás Maduro and managed to filter more than 5 thousand confidential documents of the Permanent Evaluation Commission of the Bolivarian Navy.
Hackers – in this case, in the role of vigilantes – had access to inside information about Honor Guards, DGCIM, SEBIN, high profile officials and even the spies that the regime has in other countries.
The hacked data revealed that the suspected terrorists had entered the country as Spanish students with coverage of “government language study programs” via Margarita Island, a member of the hacker network told Israel Hayom.
“Thieves trying to control their gang. Currency theft, alcohol consumption during service hours. This is what they call the glorious armed forces of the Venezuelan regime, ”the hacker group wrote on Twitter.
This isn’t the first time Team HDP has access to confidential information from the Maduro regime. in October 2021 they hacked the databases of the General Directorate of Military Counter-espionage (DGCIM).
DGCIM is the regime’s most powerful intelligence agency, accused of human rights violations and arbitrary arrests.

The information obtained after the hack seems to confirm the consolidation of the alliance between the regime of Tehran and the dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro.
Following fuel shipments to the Caribbean country and at a time when Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian announced that the two nations would soon sign a 20-year strategic agreement.
Among the data released, it emerged that some operational members of Hezbollah live freely in Venezuela and under the protection of President Maduro’s government.
One such agent, named Rabi Maklad, is involved in trading in strategic cocaine and minerals, trafficking in women and money laundering to finance terrorism.
According to the report, “he is one of the bosses of organized crime with commercial links in Colombia” and a resident of the Venezuelan state of Nueva Esparta.
Hezbollah would be the key to strengthening that alliance with the Maduro government. Various opposition figures, from interim president Juan Guaidó to Julio Borges, have denounced the links between the Maduro dictatorship and the terrorist group.
Furthermore, according to information obtained by the hackers, members of the Shia terrorist group appear to be involved in arms and drug trafficking, as well as money laundering to finance terrorism.
Several members of the Maklad family appear in the DGCIM database, originally from the Druze village of As-Suwayda, near the Jordanian border in southwestern Syria.
Also present is Hayyan al-Matthani, an agent active in the Druze community and resident in Nueva Esparta. He has been involved in similar crimes, as well as in the arms and ammunition trade with the British Virgin Islands and the Dutch islands in the Caribbean.
