A group of ‘hackers’ called Jabaroot has spread on social networks and various internet forums several alleged databases containing names, identification numbers, and other sensitive information of thousands of members of the interior intelligence services and the police of Morocco, report several media outlets from the Alawite country, with the motto “as a gift to Europe and especially to Spain,” following the illegal entry of 80,000 Maghrebis and Sub-Saharans through Ceuta.

Among the published documents are the national identity document number, the Public Administration employee number, and the year each agent would have joined the General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance (DGST), responsible for interior intelligence, and the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), the Moroccan police force. In total, data from 70,000 agents would have been leaked.
Jabaroot, these media report, has caused numerous problems for the Moroccan autocracy through successive leaks in recent times. If these facts are confirmed, it would be one of the largest information leaks suffered by the country’s security apparatus in recent decades.
Days ago, following the events in Ceuta, Jabaroot had announced it would publish the data and had pointed to Abdellatif Hammouchi, one of the main heads of the two security agencies, whom they held responsible for the migration crisis, according to the activist group, perfectly planned by the Moroccan security apparatus, although without the knowledge of the king, Mohamed VI.
The identity of the group is currently unknown, and from Morocco, there are those who accuse Algeria, a regional rival and frequent conflict partner with the country. According to the activist group, many of the agents would have carried out espionage work in Europe, placing listening devices or making payments to politicians and businessmen.
The hackers also say they have evidence of orders directed to Moroccan agents who would have orchestrated the events in Ceuta, which Spain has labeled as a “attack on Spanish territorial integrity and sovereignty”.
The group attributes the planning of the “attack” to Fouad Ali el Himma, one of the king’s main advisors. They also claim that the United States and Israel were previously aware of the plan.
