Rabat — The Ministry of Justice issued a statement today regarding alleged leaks of electronic data, noting that the allegations do not in any way pertain to the ministry’s information systems or database.
The Ministry of Justice responded to the reports circulated on social networks and media platforms regarding the leaks, noting that the circulated information “does not in any way pertain to the Ministry of Justice’s information systems, nor is it related to its databases or secure digital services.”
The ministry said that its information systems, including digital platforms for judicial and administrative services, are operating normally and securely.
“They have not been subjected to any breaches or data leaks,” the ministry said, noting that it implements multi-layered protection protocols.
It also urged citizens to obtain information related to its operations from official and authorized sources, and to avoid “giving credence to rumors or inaccurate news that could cause unnecessary confusion and concern.”
The ministry also reiterates its commitment to ensuring the security and integrity of data and information related to the justice system and digital services, confirming its “continued efforts to strengthen cybersecurity measures and vigilance to confront all potential risks in this field.”
Algerian hacker group “Jabaroot” claimed responsibility for the new alleged cyberattack against the Moroccan ministry.
This is a continuation of Jabaroot’s hacking claims. Recent social media reports suggest that the group published a leaked dossier from Morocco’s road safety agency, NARSA.
It remains to be seen whether the claim is authentic or another allegation that will be eventually denied by the agency in the coming hours.
In the past few months, the group made similar announcements, claiming responsibility over cyberattacks targeting several other Moroccan databases, including the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) and the National Agency for Land Registry (ANCFCC).
Sources from the land registry agency denied that its system was directly targeted, clarifying that the breach involved a notaries’ platform, Tawtik, which is managed independently.
An authorized source from ANFCC said recently that no intrusion or data leak has been detected in its information system. Converging reports suggested that the Algerian hacking group may have access to data on the notaries’ platform by “exploiting vulnerabilities in inadequately protected computers.”
