Morocco opens probe after hacker group claims breach of judicial website
Following claims by a hacker group reportedly based in Algeria that it breached the Ministry of Justice's IT systems and published two letterheaded screenshots from the Superior Council of the Judiciary (CSPJ), the King's Public Prosecutor at the Rabat Court of Appeal ordered on Tuesday the opening of a judicial investigation into reports of a cyberattack targeting the Council's website. In a statement, the Prosecutor confirmed that an investigation had been launched into the circulation of two administrative documents allegedly linked to the Council. The communiqué also noted that the case has been entrusted to the National Judicial Police Brigade. The breach, claimed by the group JabaRoot, was announced on Sunday. In a message posted on its Telegram channel, the group said it had obtained «very sensitive» data concerning Justice Minister Abdellatif Ouahbi and the broader Moroccan judiciary. Just a week earlier, JabaRoot claimed responsibility for hacking Tawtik, the platform used to digitize notarial procedures in Morocco. The group published files and documents allegedly involving political figures in notarial transactions, raising significant alarm. Moroccan authorities have not yet issued an official response to the latest attack. While the authenticity of the leaked documents remains unverified, the growing wave of cyber intrusions is raising serious concerns about the security of Morocco's critical digital infrastructure.

Morocco Opens Investigation into Alleged Cyber Attack on Judiciary Council Website
Rabat – The Public Prosecutor at the Court of Appeal in Rabat has ordered an official investigation into reports that the website of the Supreme Council of the Judiciary may have been hacked. In a statement on Tuesday, the Prosecutor announced that the decision follows information shared on social media about the alleged cyberattack. Posts claimed that two administrative documents, said to be from the Council, were leaked online. The Public Prosecutor confirmed that the National Brigade of Judicial Police has been tasked with leading the investigation to verify the authenticity of the documents and uncover any potential criminal acts. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether the website was truly breached or if the documents are legitimate. The investigation is currently underway. The Algerian hacker group Jabaroot has claimed responsibility for a recent cyberattack on Morocco's Ministry of Justice, saying they accessed sensitive data related to Justice Minister Abdellatif Ouahbi, around 5,000 magistrates, and 35,000 judicial officials. This alleged attack follows earlier breaches by Jabaroot on the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) and the National Agency for Land Registry (ANCFCC), where they accessed millions of sensitive documents. Jabaroot accused Moroccan authorities of staying silent and inactive despite the hacker group's warnings and the sensitive data they exposed. The group expected the Ministry of Justice and officials to open investigations or respond publicly, but they didn't, which the hackers described as 'complicit silence' or ignoring the issue. They also claim to control the entire digital infrastructure of the Justice Ministry. The group warned it will release more information publicly if no action is taken and suggested Minister Ouahbi should resign if unable to respond effectively. The Ministry of Justice has not commented on the claims.
