The Land Registry has denied any breach of its database following claims made by the group “Jabaroot” on Monday, June 2, 2025, which announced it had accessed the institution’s database and leaked thousands of sensitive documents. A knowledgeable source clarified that the hack actually targeted Morocco’s notaries’ platform, not the Land Registry itself.
Sources within the Land Registry told “Sawt Al-Maghrib” that initial assessments showed the institution’s database remained intact and had not been compromised. The Registry also appointed a team of experts who conducted thorough inspections to verify the absence of any security breaches.
Regarding the service disruption experienced by the Land Registry’s website and services on Monday, the source explained that this was a precautionary measure to protect against any potential attacks following the announcement by “Jabaroot.”
In the same context, another informed source confirmed that the breach concerned a platform dedicated to Moroccan notaries called “Tawtik.ma.” The leaked documents are those that can only be extracted from this platform, such as electronically signed sale and purchase contracts handled exclusively through it.
The expert commented on “Jabaroot’s” claim of hacking the Land Registry by attributing it to the hackers’ lack of understanding of Morocco’s documentation process, as they mistakenly believed these documents were stored in the Land Registry’s database.
Regarding the timing of the breach, the source denied it was recent, estimating it occurred more than a year ago. The leaked documents date from 2022 to 2023. The group reportedly kept the documents before deciding to release them now, with the possibility of further leaks in the future.
It is worth noting that the Algerian group “Jabaroot” announced on its Telegram channel that it had hacked the National Agency of Land Conservation, Cadastre and Cartography (ANCFCC) database and leaked tens of thousands of sensitive documents. These included property ownership certificates, sale and purchase contracts, banking documents, and a folder said to contain “very sensitive documents concerning some senior Moroccan officials and important figures.”
The group justified the leak as a direct response to what it described as “anti-Algerian propaganda” recently published by some Moroccan media outlets, which included false reports about France’s alleged intention to freeze assets of senior Algerian officials.
These developments come amid increasing tensions between the involved parties, with Moroccan institutions reaffirming the security of their data, while the hacking group continues to release sensitive information, raising security and legal concerns.
