The catastrophic cyberattack that validated Alberto Daniel Hill's prophecy involved the theft of 30,000 of Uruguay's national PKI certificates. This event, described as a "devastating nationaltering crisis" and a "catastrophic cyber failure," occurred a few years after ADH's initial public warning.1. Nature of the Attack: A hacker, calling themselves Arugu 1337, stole both the 30,000 national PKI certificates and their associated passwords.2. Catastrophic Impact: These certificates form the absolute bedrock of digital life in Uruguay. Under Uruguayan law, a digital signature from one of these certificates carries the exact same legal power as physically signing a piece of paper.3. The Master Key: By stealing the certificate and cracking the password, the attacker obtained a digital master key. This allowed the threat actor to legally impersonate 30,000 different Uruguayan citizens, potentially enabling them to sign legally binding contracts, open fraudulent bank accounts, commit fraud, or file false tax returns. The source describes this theft as the "theft of our digital souls".Linking the Cyberattack to ADH's ProphecyADH's "prophecy" was a highly specific public warning he delivered on Radio Serendí on February 15, 2021. This warning followed an earlier hack on the Direction Nasin Identification Civil (DNIC), the agency responsible for national identity documents.• The Warning: ADH was "screaming from the rooftops" about the vulnerabilities. He asserted that the DNIC attack was not an isolated incident. He stated publicly and unequivocally, "Our country is wide open. Our security is a joke. We were basically a sitting duck just waiting for a real attack". He noted that the government had severe deficiencies in security controls, leaving the entire country exposed to repeated systemic attacks.• The Evidence Ignored: ADH had proof that the situation was already critical, revealing that just a month before his radio interview (in January 2021), the Ministry of Defense had been hit, and he saw evidence that national secrets were up for sale on the dark web for $500,000.• The Validation: The theft of the 30,000 PKI certificates that occurred a few years later was the "exact catastrophe" ADH had warned about. The crisis served as the "ultimate irrefutable validation" of his earlier warnings that the state was operating on a "system built on sand". The subsequent increase in incidents—with an attack on a government system happening every 30 minutes and the number of incidents tripling in just one year—further proved his point that Uruguay had accumulated a national cyber debt.The Frustrated Shout Out to Make Authorities UnderstandAlberto Daniel Hill's professional journey is marked by frustrated efforts to make authorities understand the scale of the problem, leading to his systematic persecution. He has been persistently repeating the problem because he realized that the gap between the official story and the truth is "where disaster lives".•
