The Colombian branch of international hacker group Anonymous, that has carried out similar Denial of Servise (DoS) attacks on government website denied responsibility. According to anonymous, ColombianH was responsible for the attack on MOE. This was not confirmed by ColombianH on their Twitter page.
Anonymous did announce to carry out "#opdemocracia," a DoS attack on the National Electoral Council, Colombia's highest electoral authority. During elections in 2010, the country's Registry Offica, responsible for the organization of the election and counting of the ballots was hacked, but these attacks did not come from insurgent hacker groups, but from the offices of the National Police and intelligence agency DAS.
