According to reliable Spanish sources, preliminary investigations conducted by Spanish intelligence agencies have revealed information pointing to the possible involvement of a “Maghreb country” in the cyberattack that targeted Spain’s electrical infrastructure, causing a nationwide blackout affecting over 60% of Spanish territory in a mere five seconds.
The sources indicate that Spain’s National Encryption Center, part of the Spanish intelligence services, began tracing the source of the attack in the early hours of the incident. The attack has been described by Spanish media reports as a “coordinated hostile act,” with the sources emphasizing that Morocco has been clearly excluded from suspicion. The fingers of blame are now pointing toward another North African country, believed to be Algeria.
As confirmed by the same sources, Spain’s National Center for Astrophysical Physics joined the investigation after detecting unusual electronic activity from North Africa, which coincided precisely with the timing of the power outage, a sign that reinforces the hypothesis of an external cyberattack.
The incident, which occurred on Monday, April 29, caused significant economic losses, although official authorities have not yet disclosed the exact amount. Local media described the attack as “the most dangerous of its kind” and “unprecedented.” Reports suggest that the event will lead to changes in how Spain approaches its cybersecurity and energy security in the future.
While awaiting the official investigation results, the same sources suggest that the incident could lead to a reordering of national security priorities in Madrid and accelerate strategic investments to strengthen the protection of critical infrastructure against potential cyber threats.
