  • The data disseminated so far matches records from the State Attorney’s Office (FGE) and the housing institute INDIVI.
  • Authorities have opened investigations and will wait for the implicated institutions’ forensic analyses before issuing conclusions.
  • Officials report no contact from hacker groups and cite no prior cyberattack incidents against state agencies in the current administration.
