The Attorney General's Office warns of the increase in hybrid warfare threats in Spain
The Attorney General's Office has issued a warning regarding the increase in threats from what is known as "hybrid warfare" in Spain. This phenomenon, which combines military and civilian tactics, seeks to destabilize national security without reaching the level of a traditional armed conflict. Authorities point out that the main objective is to weaken the country's democratic institutions and social cohesion.
According to the report presented, these activities include disinformation campaigns, cyberattacks against critical infrastructure, and the use of artificial intelligence to manipulate public opinion. Experts indicate that these attacks are difficult to detect, as they often hide behind fake news or digital profiles that appear legitimate but seek to generate confusion and polarization among citizens.
The Ministry of the Interior, in collaboration with intelligence services, has reinforced cybersecurity protocols to protect Spain's strategic systems. The Prosecutor's Office emphasizes that international cooperation is fundamental, given that many of these threats come from external actors operating through global networks. The goal is to improve the response capacity to any attempt at external interference.
Given this situation, authorities are calling on the public to maintain a critical attitude toward the information circulating on the internet. It is recommended to always verify official sources and avoid sharing content that could be part of disinformation campaigns. Digital education is presented as a key tool to strengthen the resilience of Spanish society against these new global challenges.
