LAC4 to Support Students at MAGIC CTF

LAC4 supported the participation of 16 students from the Dominican Republic in the MAGIC International Capture the Flag Cybersecurity Competition (CTF), taking place virtually on 18 April 2026.

This entry-level competition provided participants with valuable insight into cybersecurity processes within a dynamic and hands-on environment designed to strengthen logical thinking, problem-solving and teamwork skills.

Four teams of students from Universidad Iberoamericana (UNIBE) and Instituto Técnico Salesiano (ITESA) joined the competition virtually from the LAC4 computer lab in Santo Domingo. UNIBE secured first place, while ITESA teams placed third and fourth out of 18 teams.

This marked the third time that students from the Dominican Republic participated in the Mid-Atlantic Gigabit Innovation Collaboratory (MAGIC) CTF, reflecting LAC4’s continued commitment to developing local cybersecurity talent and promoting practical, skills-based learning.

Congratulations to all the students and specially to the ShinyHunters team from UNIBE on this win!
