Description

On June 1, 2025, Fundación Semana Verde de Galicia announced that it had been targeted by a computer attack that occurred in the hours leading up to the scheduled market session. The attack disrupted the normal operations of the Central Agropecuaria de Galicia Abanca, where the weekly auctions are held. According to the foundation’s statement, the incident made it impossible to begin the auction process that normally starts on Mondays at 17:00 hours. The foundation noted that the consequences of the attack prevented the initiation of the market procedures. As a result, the auctions planned for Tuesday were suspended.

The foundation’s staff attempted to resolve the issue in order to hold the Tuesday session, but the urgency required to start the process could not be met. Personnel promptly informed all regular market operators of the suspension so they could adjust their plans. No further technical details about the attack’s origin, methods, or affected systems were disclosed in the available reports. The suspension remained in effect until the foundation could confirm that the computer systems were restored and secure. The incident highlighted the reliance of the Central Agropecuaria de Galicia Abanca on uninterrupted digital services for its weekly livestock auctions.
