A source from Maroc Telecom has debunked claims circulating in the Russian media regarding the telecom giant’s alleged collaboration with a Russian cybersecurity firm to infiltrate the Moroccan market.

Citing an informed source within Maroc Telecom, Hespress AR asserted that these claims are entirely unfounded.

The source clarified that the information in question was originally intended for a different telecommunications opperator, with no direct connection to Maroc Telecom.

Maroc Telecom denied any engagement with the Russian cybersecurity entity, Positive Technologies Group.

In 2021 the US imposed a ban on Positive Technologies Group’s operations, citing alleged involvement in cyberattacks and hacking directed at government and financial institutions, amid the broader backdrop of the US government’s stringent actions against technology firms.
