The Andalusian Health Service (SAS) and the Andalusian Employment Service (SAE) temporarily deactivated their websites as a preventive measure following an international cybersecurity alert from the National Cryptologic Center (CCN-CERT). The alert identified critical vulnerabilities in PHP, a programming language used for web services.

While clinical activities and emergency services remained operational, the outage disrupted administrative processes. The UGT Andalucía union reported that thousands of healthcare professionals were unable to manage essential labor procedures, such as recruitment pools and transfer competitions, leading to demands for extended legal deadlines.

To mitigate the impact, the Junta de Andalucía provided alternative channels for services, including the AppSAE mobile application, telephone assistance, and in-person appointments. Authorities noted that labor regulations protect unemployed individuals from sanctions during these verified technical failures.
