There is still no forecast for the completion of the repair," stated the message to which 💥️Folha had access. In the message, the Shared Services Secretariat of the ministry stated that the affected ministries include: Management, Finance, Indigenous Peoples, Planning and Budget, Development, Industry, Commerce and Services, Entrepreneurship, Micro and Small Business, Social Security, Racial Equality, Women, the Brazilian Mint, and Coaf (Financial Activities Control Council).
In the late afternoon, employees received new instructions, this time to change their Office and Gov.br passwords, especially those who also work with Siafi. In April, criminals hacked the federal government's financial management system, Siafi, used for executing payments, and attempted to move at least R$ 9 million from the Ministry of Management and Innovation.
