According to the newspaper, Spain law enforcement officers, together with the Civilian Guard, were detained in a difficult joint operation of an 18-year-old hacker, which during 2024 performed at least 40 cyberattacks, in particular on the pages of the Civil Guard, the Ministry of Defense, NATO, the US Army, the UN and various universities.
It is reported that the hacker was put before the court and subsequently released after the confiscation of his passport, so as not to let him leave the country.
