After hackers released the confidential source code of Chivo, the government-backed Bitcoin wallet, the situation has deteriorated significantly. CiberInteligenciaSV, the hacking group responsible for the breach, has disclosed a catalog of affected addresses on BreachForums, accompanied by a reported system weakness.
They not only released the Codigo.rar file containing the code and VPN access for the Chivo Wallet ATM network, but went a step further.
A new instance of a cyber attack has emerged, continuing a pattern of such incidents. One notable example is the theft of 5.1 million Salvadorans’ personal data, which has heightened concerns among citizens and businesses regarding the safety of the nation’s digital framework.

This means that the group intends to make publicly available certain elements of the Chivo Wallet’s programming code and Virtual Private Network (VPN) details.
