In response to the hacking of Morocco’s CNSS and Ministry of Employment by the Algerian group JabaRoot DZ, Moroccan hackers have released over 34 GB of sensitive data from Algeria’s Ministry of Pharmaceutical Industry. This latest attack marks a troubling escalation in the ongoing cyberwar between the two countries, exposing sensitive information about citizens on both sides.
An inquiry into the cyberattack on Morocco's CNSS, initially attributed to an Algerian hacking group, suggests the breach could allegedly have been orchestrated by a Tunisian student based in Germany.
As the CNSS hacking continues to shake Morocco, the response has been swift. In a dramatic counterattack, a group of Moroccan hackers infiltrated the systems of Algeria’s Social Security Fund for Postal and Telecommunications Workers (MGPTT), leaking 13 GB of sensitive data—including ID numbers, money transfer orders, and administrative documents. This marks a new chapter in the ongoing, silent digital war between Rabat and Algiers.
The ongoing rivalry between Morocco and Algeria has extended into cyberwarfare, with hackers from both countries targeting government websites, media outlets, and sensitive data. Yabiladi recapped cyber incidents between Moroccan and Algerian hackers over the last 15 years, most of which followed political developments.
Setting aside the strong reactions to Spain and France’s support for Morocco’s position on the Sahara issue, Algeria and the Polisario, in a tone of resignation, merely «regretted» the Trump administration’s reaffirmation of Moroccan sovereignty over the territory.
