A cybercriminal group has suffered a taste of its own medicine after its website was hacked, with the attacker leaving a message warning against illegal activity. In a separate incident, the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) of Morocco has confirmed a data breach following a cyber attack. The incidents highlight the ever-present threat of cybercrime, even within the cybercriminal underworld itself.
The CNSS of Morocco has acknowledged that its computer systems were targeted by cyber attacks, leading to a data breach. A threat actor, using the alias 'Jabaroot', claimed responsibility for stealing large volumes of citizen data. The actor is reportedly targeting government systems in Morocco.
The CNSS has activated its security protocols and launched an internal investigation to determine the extent and origin of the breach. Initial investigations have revealed that leaked documents circulating on social media contain false, inaccurate, or incomplete information. The Fund is working diligently to understand the full scope of the incident and protect the personal data and confidentiality of user information.
