Hacking of the Buenos Aires Province Website

The Buenos Aires Province website was hacked, with a message against Governor Axel Kicillof amidst a climate of tension due to increasing violence in the Greater Buenos Aires area.


The official website of the Province of Buenos Aires was recently hacked, which led to a threat directed at Governor Axel Kicillof. In the News section, a note was published containing an aggressive message against the official, accompanied by the image of a young person making a gun gesture.

Amid a tense atmosphere due to the rise in crime in the Greater Buenos Aires area, the hacking of the official website has generated uncertainty about who could be behind this action. The note in question features a young person in a hoodie making a gun gesture with their hands and the provocative title "Kicillof puto chupala," which is repeated throughout the text.

The publication, made on Thursday, January 30, has raised concerns about the possibility of a violent reaction, given the insecurity context that has persisted in the region since early 2025. The Buenos Aires Government has confirmed that no database was compromised during the hacking.

Additionally, a statement was issued claiming that the publication was removed immediately once detected, and an investigation has been launched to clarify what happened. The Province of Buenos Aires has taken steps to address this situation and prevent future incidents of this kind.
