L'Hospitalet de Llobregat's digital newspaper, El Tot L'Hospitalet-Baix Llobregat, reported a persistent cyberattack to the Mossos d'Esquadra last Monday. The attack has affected its online edition and that of El Tot Cornellà since 25 March.
A representative for El Tot L'Hospitalet-Baix Llobregat filed the complaint with the Catalan police. The ongoing nature of the attack suggests a targeted effort against the news outlets.
Investigation Underway
Officials from the Mossos d'Esquadra are now looking into the incident. Details about the nature of the cyberattack, such as the methods used or the extent of the disruption, have not been publicly released. The investigation aims to identify the source of the attack and prevent further incidents.
This event highlights the growing concerns about digital security for media organisations in Catalonia. Protecting journalistic platforms from such attacks is critical for maintaining public access to information.
