Samsung phones hacked through WhatsApp images... Morocco among the targeted countries

A newly discovered spyware campaign, dubbed LANDFALL, has been targeting Samsung Galaxy users in Morocco and beyond, exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in WhatsApp's image-sharing feature to infiltrate devices without user interaction. Uncovered by Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42, this advanced malware has been active since mid-2024, allowing attackers to conduct extensive surveillance before Samsung's recent patch in 2025.

Morocco’s largest dam faces 100% earthquake risk within 25 years, study predicts

A new study warns that Morocco’s Al Wahda Dam, located in the seismically active Rif Mountains, faces a 100% probability of at least one moderate earthquake (≥4 Mw) within the next 25 years. The forecast is based on a newly developed probabilistic modeling framework used by researchers to assess seismic risk.

Morocco’s climate vulnerability and funding gaps exposed by new index

Morocco ranks 124th out of 188 countries in the new climate vulnerability index by the Columbia Climate School, which measures exposure to climate risks alongside financial capacity to respond. The index highlights significant challenges across the region, with many African countries, facing urgent needs for targeted climate funding to build resilience.

After CNSS, Algerian hacking group Jabaroot strikes again, targeting Morocco’s land registry
