Morocco Faces surge in cyberattacks
In recent months, Morocco has experienced a significant surge in cyberattacks targeting both public and private institutions, leading to the leak of sensitive and personal data. Reports indicate that the country recorded more than 20.7 million hacking attempts on its systems during the first half of 2025, with a million-plus efforts to steal data and exploit security vulnerabilities. Additionally, Microsoft reports reveal that Morocco faced 12.6 million attacks in 2024, with the complexity of these attacks increasing, especially with the advent of artificial intelligence. There have also been attacks attributed to foreign entities targeting vital sectors such as banks, telecommunications, and universities. The data leaks included sensitive files and sparked discussions about their sources and objectives, with concerns that they might be sold on black markets, posing a threat to Morocco's economic, social, and international security.
