Police have arrested two minors as alleged perpetrators of a leak. Data of Pedro Sánchez and ministers appeared

Spanish authorities have arrested two minors suspected of involvement in a large-scale data breach. The leaked information included personal data of high-ranking government officials, including the Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and several ministers. This incident highlights ongoing cybersecurity vulnerabilities and the need for robust data protection measures within critical government infrastructure. The arrests, conducted on September 26th, took place in Catalonia and Castilla-La Mancha, following an investigation into the data leak. The investigation focused on tracing the origin and spread of the leaked information, which was linked to the publication of the data online. One minor is considered the primary suspect, while the other is believed to have played a lesser role. The breach's implications extend to the security of sensitive government information and the potential exposure of individuals to various risks. The incident underscores the importance of cybersecurity measures, especially in light of the recent adoption of the Digital Services Act and the Data Governance Act, which are designed to protect user data. The investigation is ongoing to determine the full extent of the breach and the methods used. The investigation is centered on a message posted by a user named N4t0x, who claimed responsibility for the leak on a cybercrime forum. The user said they used a tool named SpainData, to obtain the data.
