After sparking concern with a dramatic warning about the compromise of thousands of Moroccan bank cards, Cypherleak is now trying to downplay the significance of its own report. What started as a whistleblower moment has quickly turned into a less alarming «historical compilation» of data leaked on the dark web.

This change in tone raises some questions: why present these findings as urgent if no recent attacks have specifically targeted Moroccan banks? Cypherleak defends itself by claiming its goal is transparency and raising awareness. But the mixed messaging only fuels doubt about the true purpose behind this «study».

In the end, the company's conclusion is fairly standard: banking data theft is a global issue, cybercriminals target all financial institutions, and no system is foolproof. Ironically, this conclusion feels at odds with the dramatic tone of the original report shared on LinkedIn.
