The hackers who in recent days published data on about

70 Mossos d'Esquadra agents

that could have been stolen from a corporate mailbox of the Catalan police have published this Saturday new information on about seventy more police officers.

On the 15th, the Mossos indicated that hackers obtained personal data of at least 70 agents by gaining

access to a document that was in a corporate

police mailbox and indicated that they were opening an investigation into this case to clarify the facts and They reported the case to the competent judicial authority.

The

Evaluation, Risk and Protection Commission of the Mossos

reported this Saturday that it has learned of the publication of a new document "with similar characteristics with data from around seventy more agents."

The

central Cybercrime area,

attached to the

Criminal Investigation Division

of the Mossos, which is handling the case, has specified that this document has been obtained from the same "violated" corporate mailbox and that

"it has been published in a very restricted area of ​​​​cyberspace." ".

The Cybercrime area is also working on the breach of a second mailbox from which "a document with data on two people has also been extracted" and which has also been published in a very restricted space.

The Mossos indicate that, as was done on the 15th, those affected have been informed of this new "security incident" and have been offered the possibility of

taking action to report the facts.

"We continue working on this incident and keep the Information and Communication Technologies protocol active," explains the Catalan police.

After the

email breach

known on the 15th, the Mossos activated the Information and Communication Technologies Protocol and have been working since then in coordination with the Catalan Cybersecurity Agency, in the attempt to neutralize possible threats.

The

Telecommunications and Information Technology Center of the Generalitat

also proceeded, preventively and to reduce risks, to block non-nominal corporate emails, which were reset with new passwords.
