In a controversial move aimed at shedding light on the alleged involvement of high-ranking security officials in the migration crisis at Ceuta at the end of July, a hacker group known as Jabaroot claimed on August 24 that it has leaked the personal data of 70,000 security and intelligence agents from Morocco. While the veracity of all the information within this list remains uncertain at this stage, credible details have emerged that suggest parts of the data may indeed be authentic, as indicated by former Moroccan intelligence members who have been interviewed by international media.
Despite the seriousness of the allegations, Moroccan media outlets have largely chosen to downplay the significance of this information leak. For instance, Média24 has suggested that the leaked data is merely a compilation of previously compromised information, asserting that the hackers simply aggregated names of Moroccan agents whose data had already been hacked in the past. This perspective reflects a reluctance within the local media to fully acknowledge the potential implications of the breach.
Nevertheless, the leak has revealed some previously unknown information to the public, such as the exact birth date of Morocco's police and internal intelligence chief, according to the French daily Le Monde. Jabaroot, which aligns itself with Algerian interests and previously claimed responsibility for a major data breach in Morocco in 2025 involving the National Social Security Fund (CNSS), has described this recent data publication as a "gift" to Europe in light of the ongoing migration crisis at Ceuta.
