2m.ma Listed by APT73 Ransomware Group

On April 27, 2026, the Moroccan national television broadcaster 2M TV (2m.ma) appeared on the leak site of the ransomware group apt73. Public reporting indicates the attackers exfiltrated internal files during a ransomware incident and listed the company as a victim.

What Public Reporting Shows

Available reporting describes 2M TV as Morocco’s national television channel responsible for both television broadcasting and related digital services. The incident involved internal files rather than a confirmed public dump of customer records. No exact victim count has been released, and the precise volume or sensitivity of the stolen data remains unclear from current public sources. The listing on the apt73 leak site states the group claims successful exfiltration and is using the threat of publication to pressure the broadcaster.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a national broadcaster suffers a breach, the information inside its systems can include employee records, contractor details, partner contacts, and occasionally viewer or subscriber data. If your email, phone number, or address appears in those files, it can surface in follow-on leaks or be sold quietly on underground markets. For ordinary families this means heightened risk of phishing, identity theft, and unwanted exposure of personal information you never intended to share publicly. Children’s details sometimes appear in family-linked accounts, turning one corporate breach into a household problem.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Ransomware leaks rarely stop at the first publication. Attackers or opportunistic criminals often cross-reference newly exposed data with earlier breaches, creating long identity chains that link an old work email to your personal accounts, social-media handles, and even children’s gaming profiles. A single leaked document can give adversaries enough breadcrumbs to dox family members, hijack online accounts, or launch convincing spear-phishing campaigns. Credential leaks of this nature frequently cascade into gaming-account takeovers, where children’s usernames and passwords are reused across platforms and then exploited for further harassment or extortion.

Apt73’s Publicly Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the group’s emergence to 2024. It has since targeted organizations across multiple countries, with notable prior victims including healthcare providers, educational institutions, and media entities. The typical playbook begins with initial access through phishing or exploited remote-desktop services, followed by claimed exfiltration of sensitive files and deployment of ransomware. The group then posts samples on its leak site and sets payment deadlines, threatening full data release if demands are not met. Observers note that apt73 tends to focus on organizations it believes will pay to avoid reputational damage.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real-world identity, then use the cleanup to remove what you can.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next exposure of your data is caught in hours rather than months.
• Rotate any password you used at 2m.ma or related services and switch on 2FA through an authenticator app instead of SMS.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family protection that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts, which often chain back to the same address or parent email.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and leak sites so you do not have to negotiate with threat actors yourself.
