VenariX reported a claim by Anonymous against the INPC/BCV. No official source, independent telemetry, verifiable outage, or compromised data was found; the additional source does not mention the INPC.

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 independent confirmation that the BCV website or the INPC platform were attacked in August 2024.It is important to avoid confusing the BCV (central bank) with the separate incidents involving Banco de Venezuela (BDV).
