Social Security Fund denies hack, denounces disinformation campaign

Panama's Social Security Fund (CSS) has categorically denied allegations of a system hack, denouncing what it calls an orchestrated disinformation campaign. The institution clarified that information circulating on social media, purported to be leaked data, is actually public information that has been manipulated and presented out of context. The CSS emphasized that its systems have not been compromised.

The CSS has not been hacked.

The organization expressed regret over the spread of false information, stating it only serves to confuse the public. According to the CSS, vested interests are behind this campaign. These groups, it claims, feel threatened by the ongoing institutional transformation, transparency measures, and efforts to control spending and modernize the system, which they believe affect their privileges.

The CSS urged citizens, communicators, and social media users to verify information before sharing it. It cautioned against becoming unwitting conduits for misleading content. The institution reaffirmed its full support for the executive team leading the transformation and for all public servants working to enhance the quality of services for insured individuals, pensioners, and contributors.

there are people willing to spread false information that only generates confusion among the citizenry.

This statement comes amid efforts by the CSS to implement changes aimed at improving transparency and efficiency. The institution positions these measures as a direct challenge to entities that have historically benefited from disorder and opacity within the system.

behind this campaign there are vested interests that feel threatened by the institutional transformation process that is currently underway.
