Morocco’s national social security agency is investigating a cyberattack that resulted in the leak of sensitive personal data reportedly belonging to millions of citizens. Local media described the incident as a politically motivated campaign by Algerian hackers. The National Social Security Fund of Morocco (CNSS), which oversees healthcare, disability, and retirement benefits for the country’s private-sector employees, said hackers bypassed its security systems and leaked some of the agency’s data. More than 54,000 files were allegedly stolen, exposing information on nearly 2 million people, according to Moroccan media reports. The files, some of which date back to November 2024, included names, national ID numbers, company affiliations, email addresses, phone numbers, and bank account details.
