The Spanish National Police has arrested an individual for leaking sensitive information related to members of various key state organizations, including the National Cybersecurity Institute (INCIBE).
According to authorities, the individual is responsible for a massive leak of personal data, which carried national security risks because of the people exposed.
The police notes that the published data was from the State Attorney General's Office, INCIBE, the National Police, the Civil Guard, and the National Security Council, all critical entities in the country.
After identifying and locating the person responsible for the leak, the police raided their residence and seized computers and other electronic devices that could contain technical forensic evidence.
“The investigation, overseen by Madrid Investigative Court No. 22, began after authorities detected the mass dissemination of this data, which created an immediate risk to the security and integrity of both the affected individuals and the institutions themselves,” Spain's National Police says.
