3. The Predictive Value of Expert Analysis: From the DNIC Warning to the PKI CatastropheThe true value of independent, technically-grounded analysis lies in its predictive power. The same technical illiteracy that led a judge to believe I could “mentally alter evidence” is what blinded officials to the clear and present danger I warned about in 2021. The events surrounding the Dirección Nacional de Identificación Civil (DNIC) cyberattack and the subsequent national Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) crisis serve as a definitive and tragic validation of the warnings that I and other experts issued—warnings that were systematically ignored by official channels that preferred to downplay risk.In February 2021, following the DNIC cyberattack, I made several public statements on Radio Sarandí to sound the alarm. My warnings were not speculative; they were based on observable evidence and a deep understanding of the nation’s vulnerabilities. My key points were clear:Not an Isolated Incident: I stated unequivocally that the hack was “not an isolated incident” and was directly linked to the sale of stolen Ministry of Defense data on the Dark Web from the previous month.Systemic Weakness: I affirmed that Uruguay’s systems were “poor in terms of security controls” and that a lack of trained personnel meant the country was “very exposed” to attacks.Official Denial vs. Reality: I directly challenged the official narrative. While Ministry of Defense officials claimed the stolen data was “not sensitive,” I pointed out that the documents being sold online were visibly marked “confidential.” I concluded, “I get the impression that they don’t have much idea what was stolen.”Constant, Undetected Threat: I stressed that state systems were “constantly being attacked” and that, in many cases, the government was completely unaware of the breaches. My final diagnosis was blunt: Uruguay was “very bad from the point of view of security.”My warnings were tragically validated years later by a “catastrophic cyber failure”: the theft and cracking of passwords for 30,000 national ID certificates. The gravity of this breach cannot be overstated. These Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificates are the “absolute bedrock of digital life in Uruguay.” Under Uruguayan law, a digital signature from one of these certificates has the “exact same legal power as you signing a piece of paper with a pen.”The threat actor, who went by the name Origugu 1337, didn’t just steal data; they obtained a “digital master key” with the power to “legally impersonate 30,000 citizens.” The potential for systemic fraud is “almost beyond imagination,” giving the attacker the power to legally sell a citizen’s home, drain their bank account, or sign binding legal contracts in their name, all with the state’s official blessing. This crisis was the direct and predictable result of the “national cyber debt” I had warned about—a debt compounded by a critical shortage of at least 600 trained cybersecurity professionals.The divergence between the official tendency to downplay risk and the reality-based expert diagnosis is what allowed this disaster to unfold.The failure of the traditional narrative to grasp the scope, root cause, and potential consequences of the early warnings allowed Uruguay’s “cyber debt” to compound until a catastrophic and predictable failure was inevitable.3.1.
