Ushuaia Municipality restores website after cyberattack

The Municipality of Ushuaia has restored its official website and online services following a cyberattack involving unauthorized access by third parties. During the incident, unidentified individuals managed to publish content that was not part of the institution's official communications.

Technical teams intervened immediately to remove the unauthorized material and conduct security checks. Municipal authorities confirmed that sensitive information, including the digital service window (Ventanilla Digital), taxpayer databases, and citizen management systems, remained secure and was not compromised during the intrusion.

The municipality noted that the attack shares similarities with a recent cyberattack on the official website of the Municipality of San Carlos de Bariloche. Local officials announced they will file a formal complaint with the judiciary and competent authorities while working to reinforce cybersecurity protocols to prevent future incidents. Residents have been advised to rely solely on official channels for information.
