Algerian Hacker Group “Jabaroot” Claims Responsibility for Cyberattack on Moroccan Ministry
In a related development, the Algerian hacker group “Jabaroot” has claimed responsibility for a recent cyberattack against Morocco’s Ministry of Justice. The group reportedly released a dossier purportedly containing leaked information from Morocco’s road safety agency, NARSA.
However, it remains unclear whether the hacker group’s claim is authentic or whether it will be denied by the agency in the coming hours. This marks another in a series of hacking claims made by Jabaroot over the past few months.
The group has previously claimed responsibility for cyberattacks targeting other Moroccan databases, including the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) and the National Agency for Land Registry (ANCFCC). However, reports from the ANCFCC have denied that the agency’s main system was breached. Instead, the breach is said to have involved a platform for notaries, Tawtik, which operates independently from the ANCFCC’s main infrastructure.
An official source from ANCFCC confirmed that no intrusion or data leak had been detected within its primary information systems. However, it was suggested that the hacker group may have exploited vulnerabilities in inadequately protected computers to gain access to data from the notaries’ platform.
