TeslaTeam is a group of computer hackers. Using denial of service attacks, defacement, and other methods, it mainly targets political groups and Albanian websites, including news organizations and human rights groups. TeslaTeam is currently the only virtual army in Serbia to openly launch cyber attacks.{{citation needed|date=January 2014}}
Targets
TeslaTeam mainly targets websites of political organisations, NGOs, and websites of anti-Serb organisations.
Attacks
TeslaTeam's attacks began in February 2013, during a demonstration against the introduction of the Cyrillic alphabet and Serbian language in Vukovar. They began operation Cirilica which led to defacement and security breaches on over 100 websites across Croatia.
