Viral reports on social media and international forums warn of a possible cyberattack on the National Electoral Council’s (CNE) rapid vote counting system (TREP), amid growing suspicions of an attempted “electoral coup.”
The accusations are based on the dissemination of IP addresses and network ranges allegedly linked to the electoral body’s technological infrastructure.

According to material circulating on digital platforms and cybercrime forums such as BreachForums, lists of internal IP addresses associated with Honduran electoral system networks have been shared, including private segments not publicly accessible, suggesting a possible network mapping or leak.
One of the images, titled “Hack the Elections,” and another corresponding to an online chat where users coordinate cyber actions—including threats of DDoS attacks—have generated concern among cybersecurity experts.
IT specialists consulted on social media emphasize that, although there is no conclusive evidence of a completed hack, the revealed elements do show a reconnaissance and preparation phase for a possible cyberattack, which represents a real risk to the integrity of the electoral process.
These warnings are compounded by inconsistencies in the official data: the registered voter registry is estimated at approximately 6.5 million voters, but the number of votes cast has already exceeded 7 million, even though the TREP system reports only 91% of the vote count completed. This discrepancy has raised alarms among political and social sectors, who denounce the possibility of manipulation or alteration of the results.

The allegations point to a suspected fraud in the making, in which sectors of the traditional two-party system are allegedly involved, which, if confirmed, would constitute one of the most contested electoral processes in the country’s recent history.
Various actors are demanding absolute transparency, independent technical audits, and public appearances by the National Electoral Council (CNE) to guarantee that the results reflect the popular will.
To date, the electoral authorities have not issued a technical statement addressing these specific allegations, while the case continues to gain prominence both nationally and internationally.
