Brazil's CAPES SSO database leak with millions of records
CAPES (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, Brasil)
Detected10 November 2026 · 23:43 UTC
A listing on DarkForums advertises a database tied to the CAPES single-sign-on (sso.capes.gbr), a Brazilian federal education agency, containing over 4M emails, 4M+ phone numbers and 1M+ bank details. If genuine, this is a large exposure of government-linked personal and financial data of Brazilian academics and staff. It enables phishing, credential stuffing and serious regulatory exposure.

Filtración de datos del gabinete del Primer Ministro de ItaliaA seller on DarkForums (user 'Rozwawyn', posted 14 Oct 2026) is offering leaked data attributed to the Italian Prime Minister's Office.

Though the post is a few weeks old, any confirmed leak of a national executive body warrants verification and monitoring.Gov / MilitaryPriority 66

Base de datos RENAPER (DNI) de Argentina filtrada, ~19M personasA DarkForums thread offers roughly 19M full personal records from Argentina's RENAPER national identity registry, including DNI data. RENAPER underpins national ID issuance, so this data fuels identity fraud, account takeover and government-service impersonation. No fresh date is visible and it closely resembles the historic 2021 RENAPER breach, so it may be a reposted dataset rather than a new compromise.Gov / MilitaryPriority 90
Base de datos del RENAPO de México a la ventaThreat actor 'cutzinger' is advertising on DarkForums what is claimed to be a database from Mexico's RENAPO national population and identity registry. RENAPO holds CURP, full names, birth dates and identity records for the entire Mexican population, so a genuine dump enables mass identity fraud and impersonation. Mexican government bodies and financial institutions should urgently verify authenticity and assess exposure.Gov / MilitaryPriority 85
Filtración de base de datos de la Secretaría de Educación de MichoacánA database belonging to the Secretaría de Educación de Michoacán (Mexico) is being leaked on DarkForums by the user 'arcepah', exposing records tied to the state's public education ministry.

Mexican public-sector defenders should treat this exposure as confirmed and closely monitor for credential reuse and follow-on attacks.
