Noroeste Media

The organization is known by the aliases Noroeste Media and Noroeste. Its headquarters is located in Mexico. The organization maintains a website that serves as a platform for its online presence. On May 19, 2025, the website was subjected to a series of cyber attacks. The attacks were detected early in the day and confirmed as being directed.

The cyber attacks caused platform instability and disrupted content updates and application operations. As part of the immediate response, a traffic-filtering server was installed to mitigate the threat. Additionally, the historical notes section of the website was temporarily disabled, which may have been the intended target. Analysis provided by the organization's CloudFlare service indicated that the attack involved IP spoofing techniques. The malicious traffic originated from more than twenty thousand distinct IP addresses.

The suspicious requests came from multiple countries, including Russia, the United States, Mexico, Canada, and Romania. This distribution of sources suggests a sophisticated and carefully orchestrated assault. Details of the incident were reported on the organization's own website at the URL https://www.noroeste.com.mx/culiacan/noroeste-sufrio-un-ataque-cibernetico-durante-el-lunes-af13071212. The attacks took place on a Monday. Notably, the organization's home country of Mexico was among the nations identified as a source of the malicious traffic.
