Currently, investigations are underway to determine the scope and nature of the potentially affected information. The inquiry remains open, and it has not yet been confirmed whether any data access or extraction has occurred.
The incident has not impacted the normal operation of municipal services, which continue to function without interruption. As a precautionary measure, established security protocols have been implemented, and system protection and monitoring have been reinforced.
Both the National Cryptologic Centre and competent authorities have been informed. The council is collaborating closely with specialized cybersecurity services to analyze the events, mitigate risks, and implement necessary measures.
The Velilla de San Antonio City Council has security measures in place to safeguard its systems and managed information. However, as zero risk is unattainable, vigilance, response, and continuous improvement mechanisms remain active. Official channels will provide information if the investigation confirms specific affected data requiring communication.
The Cybersecurity Agency of the Community of Madrid has offered its technical and coordination support, in line with the regional incident response model. Actions are being carried out with maximum prudence, transparency, and information protection.
This statement will be updated with new information as it becomes available.
Precautions regarding potential personal data access: Given the possibility that personal data held by the City Council may have been accessed, and to prevent fraudulent activities, the following precautions are advised:
- Do not open suspicious or unreliable links in emails or SMS messages.
- Exercise caution with emails or messages that do not clearly identify the sender and request confidential information, such as bank account numbers, credit card details, or access keys.
- Change passwords for currently used services and platforms.
- Do not provide your password or PIN, as the City Council will never request this information via SMS, call, or email.
- Contact your bank immediately if you detect any anomalies.
- File a report with the National Police or Civil Guard if you suspect misuse of your identity in the coming weeks, mentioning the cyberattack communicated by the Velilla de San Antonio City Council, as it may be related.
- In case of suspected identity theft or impersonation, contact INCIBE at 017 or visit www.incibe.es/linea-de-ayuda-en-ciberseguridad.
