The Digital Content Observatory warns all citizens, professionals, researchers, and public website users of a real and direct danger resulting from visiting the official website of the Urban Agency of the Fez-Meknes Region (www.aufes.org), following confirmation of a comprehensive and deep cyberattack that has affected the platform for some time without being addressed.
📛 Observed Technical Facts Confirm the Following:
- A cyber intrusion allowed an unknown party to publish thousands of harmful and illegal contents violating laws and ethics;
- The contents include pornographic materials, promotion of drugs, prohibited medications, gambling sites, and malicious links;
- Strong indicators suggest the website may be used as a platform for digital attacks targeting visitors’ devices and phones, potentially leading to:
✅ Theft of personal data;
✅ Installation of spyware;
✅ Redirecting users to international criminal networks.
⚠️ More alarmingly, the website’s administration had previously received warnings about security flaws but failed to take any effective corrective or protective measures, thereby increasing its ethical and legal responsibility.
📢 Accordingly, the Digital Content Observatory announces the following:
- Immediate cessation of visiting the website www.aufes.org until an official announcement confirms its full cleansing and security.
- A call for anyone who has recently visited the site to scan their devices with security software and avoid entering sensitive information.
- Holding the institution’s management fully responsible for this serious breach, especially after ignoring prior warnings.
- Calling for a comprehensive technical and legal investigation under the supervision of competent digital security authorities.
🛡️ The Digital Content Observatory reminds that citizens’ digital trust begins with the institution’s commitment to protecting its electronic space, stressing that this incident poses a threat to national information security and must be handled with utmost seriousness and urgency.
