What to do
If you are a litigant, lawyer, court employee, or other party with a pending case or personal records in Jujuy's judicial system, watch for an official notice from the Jujuy judicial branch about what data was taken and whether case services are disrupted.
Reported details
Emperador is a ransomware group first seen in August 2026 that lists victims on a leak site to pressure them into paying. It has claimed the Judicial Branch of the Province of Jujuy as a victim, but no technical writeup of how the intrusion happened, what systems were hit, or what specific data was stolen has been published yet. The claim is new as of September 2026, so details beyond the leak site posting are limited.
