On March 18, 2023, Fabrega Molino experienced a cybersecurity incident when the BlackCat ransomware group compromised its systems, resulting in the exfiltration of approximately 113 gigabytes of data containing personal information such as passports and wills. The firm acknowledged the breach, describing it as an isolated incident that was promptly contained and stating that additional security measures were implemented following expert recommendations. Despite the acknowledgment, the firm did not confirm whether client data had been stolen nor did it provide specifics about any affected individuals. No public evidence emerged that the firm issued notifications to victims or offered mitigation services such as credit monitoring. Furthermore, the attackers did not clarify whether their operation involved encryption of the firm's files or was limited to data theft alone.
