Crea suffers cyber attack and professionals are unable to issue ART

Website remains offline; The incident was registered with the Federal Police and the Digital Crimes Police Station.

Crea-SP (Regional Council of Engineering, Architecture and Agronomy of the State of São Paulo) was the target of a cyber attack. On its official website, the organization reported that part of its database was compromised and that member information was leaked during the hacking action.

The communication was made yesterday and the entity's website remains offline. According to Crea-SP, the website was taken offline as a security measure. More information can be obtained by calling 0800 017 18 11.

According to the agency, the incident has already been reported to the Federal Police and the Digital Crimes Division. Crea-SP also reported that “a company specialized in cybersecurity is working to map and resolve the vulnerability as quickly as possible, in addition to understanding the extent of what was leaked.”

CREA SP Announcement/Disclosure

O Canal Solar contacted the Crea-SP press office to clarify how services offered by the agency can be requested, such as issuing an ART (Technical Responsibility Note), and whether there is any forecast for the website to return to normal. However, by the time this report was published, the Council had not responded.

O Canal Solar checked with other Regional Councils of Engineering, Architecture and Agronomy and found that all councils are operating normally. In other words, the hackers' actions, for now, have only impacted the state of São Paulo.
