INSS Spain pensioner database leak: 3.18M records

INSS (Instituto Nacional de la Seguridad Social), España

Detected16 September 2026 · 13:12 UTC
Why it matters

A database of 3,184,288 records linked to the Spanish Social Security institute (INSS), covering pensioners, is being sold on the DarkForums marketplace. It exposes names, national ID numbers and benefit/pension details of elderly citizens, a high-value pool for identity theft, pension fraud and social-engineering of public services. Although Spain sits outside LATAM, a government benefits database at this scale is a serious exposure that defenders in Spanish-speaking regions should track.

Publicación de 6 millones de registros de residencia familiar de ChinaUser Yalpazen posted a roughly 6 million record Chinese household registration (hukou) dataset on DarkForums. Hukou data links names, ID numbers, addresses and family relationships, an ideal base for identity theft and social-engineering of citizens abroad. Its value for Latin American defenders is mainly indirect, as a source of synthetic identities and cross-border fraud infrastructure.

Filtración de 31,10 GB de la Corte Superior de Justicia de Lima Norte, PerúOn DarkForums, user Nexarlezen published a 31.10 GB archive attributed to the Superior Court of Justice of Lima Norte, a Peruvian judicial body. Judicial repositories typically contain case files, litigation records and parties' personal data, so the exposure threatens victims, witnesses and litigants, not only the institution. A compromise of a court system also raises integrity concerns about the authenticity of published rulings and internal documents.

Filtración de 11 millones de datos personales del Registro Electoral de ArgentinaA forum user (Torramyr) posted on DarkForums a database advertised as 11 million Argentine personal records framed as Electoral Registry 2026 data. If genuine, it would expose national ID numbers, names and addresses of a large share of the adult voting population, enabling identity fraud and targeted phishing against citizens and public institutions. Electoral-roll data is a national-security-grade asset for Argentina and a high-value supply for fraud and influence operations.
