Hackers have also reached Bicimad. Thirteen stations of the public bicycle service of the city of Madrid suffered a computer attack last Monday that allowed those who perpetrated the action to access the name, surname and balance information available on users' cards.

Sources from the Area of ​​Environment and Mobility point out to EL MUNDO that the corresponding complaint has already been imposed before the National Police and that "in no case" the bank accounts of those affected have been accessed.

From the team of delegate Borja Carabante point out that it has had to "turn off the system" and blame this fact "the incidents in the service" that users are experiencing since the morning of last Wednesday. "Until the end of this procedure, which will last approximately one week, users can continue using Bicimad but no balance refills will be made, nor can it be updated or new registrations can be created," said the sources consulted.

As news is produced, the Municipal Transport Company , on which Bicimad depends, "will promptly update" such information "through its different communication channels."

From the City Council they accuse the Manuela Carmena team of facilitating these attacks, which already happened in June 2014 and September 2017, for "not auditing contracts or systems" during the municipalization of the service. If they had done so, "this failure could have been detected and the data of the users or the security of the system itself would not have been put at serious risk," they point out, while pointing out that "the priority" of the current corporation has been " guarantee the security of the personal data of the users ".
