Unidentified actor claims responsibility for an attack on the General Directorate of Military Counterintelligence (DGCIM)

Sources from various actors and media outlets reported a data leak attributed to Anonymous/MS BOTNET/Cyber Hunters containing classified data from the CNE, SEBIN, and DGCIM. For the DGCIM, the authenticity, exact volume, and origin have not been forensically validated.

Overview

Missing evidence

No official statement from the victim or independent forensic confirmation was found in public sources.The public evidence supports the existence of a claim/report, but not the authenticity or integrity of the alleged commitment.It is unclear whether the data was actually extracted, leaked, or resulted in material losses, unless a source specifically states otherwise.There is no official statement from the DGCIM or the government; the count of leaked records (~7,000) has not been independently verified.The local log attributes the leak to an unidentified actor on BreachForums on August 3, while the press attributes it to CyberHunters/Anonymous on August 1 and 2; it is likely the same event, but the attribution of the actor differs.Sources are conflating the takedown of the DGCIM site (DDoS) with the database leak; the two may be separate incidents.
