The Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad, said this Monday that the invasion of the Integrated Financial Administration System (Siafi) was not an action by hackers, but rather by a user with access to the system.
In an interview at the ministry's headquarters, Haddad said that the problem occurred with access authentication and there was no breach in the system's security, but he stated that he had no information about amounts that may have been diverted.
The Folha de S.Paulo newspaper reported this Monday that the system used to execute government payments was hacked this month and there are suspicions of misappropriation of resources.
