The Cairo Report reports that the hacking group operating the Telegram channel 'Leakers$' told them they exploited a software vulnerability in systems controlling LED displays, not a website breach as the ministry claimed. The group said it discovered thousands of exposed systems across Iraq, Malaysia, Brazil, and China through automated scanning, and identified vulnerabilities in the software itself.

“It was a genuine vulnerability in the software responsible for transmitting content to LED displays. After exploiting it, we gained access to display systems in several countries, not just Egypt, but also Malaysia, Brazil, China, and others.”
