On April 1, 2025, the municipal web portal was targeted by a cyberattack that affected approximately ten taxpayers who had recently made online property‑tax payments. Upon detecting the irregular activity, municipal authorities acted quickly to contain the damage and filed a formal complaint with the Cyber Police. The incident was disclosed during a regular Cabildo session, where municipal president Héctor García urged council members and officials to strengthen precautions with their institutional email and social media accounts, which were also identified as potential targets. Despite the attack, the municipality’s website remained operational while immediate measures were taken to reinforce its digital defenses. García emphasized that the rapid response prevented the attack from escalating into a more severe disruption of the municipal treasury or broader digital operations. He also announced plans to travel to Mexico City to coordinate further investigation with the head of the Cyber Police, underscoring the seriousness with which the municipality treats the incident. The episode highlights the municipality’s focus on maintaining secure online services for its residents.
