Rabat, April 09, 2025 – Initial audits of documents allegedly leaked during a cyberattack on Morocco’s Caisse Nationale de la Sécurité Sociale (CNSS) have revealed that they are often fabricated, inaccurate, or incomplete, the agency confirmed on Wednesday. The CNSS addressed the issue following the circulation of these documents on social media platforms, which were purportedly tied to a recent cybersecurity breach.
In an official statement, the CNSS disclosed that its IT systems had been targeted by a series of cyberattacks aimed at bypassing existing security measures. These incidents resulted in a data leak, the scope and origins of which are currently under investigation. The agency emphasized that upon detecting the breach, its cybersecurity protocols were immediately activated, enabling corrective actions to contain the exploited pathway and bolster infrastructure defenses.
Swift Response to Contain the Breach
The CNSS assured the public that efforts are underway to precisely identify the compromised data. “Protecting personal data and ensuring the confidentiality of our users’ information remain our top priorities,” the statement read. To this end, the agency has launched an internal administrative inquiry while simultaneously notifying competent judicial authorities to pursue legal action.
Preliminary findings from the CNSS’s verification process debunked the authenticity of many leaked documents, highlighting their falsified or manipulated nature. This revelation raises questions about the motives behind the attack and the subsequent dissemination of misinformation.
Public Urged to Exercise Caution
In light of these developments, the CNSS called on citizens and media outlets to exercise vigilance and responsibility, urging them to refrain from sharing or spreading leaked or falsified data. “Such actions could lead to judicial consequences,” the agency warned, stressing the importance of curbing the spread of unverified information amid the ongoing investigation.
The cyberattack on the CNSS underscores the growing threat of cybersecurity breaches targeting critical institutions. As the agency works to fully assess the incident and fortify its systems, authorities are expected to provide further updates on the investigation’s progress.
