CYBER INTELLIGENCE ALERT: POSSIBLE MASSIVE LEAK OF IDENTITY DOCUMENTS — SPAIN 🇪🇸 🪪
[STATUS: UNCONFIRMED / THREAT ACTIVITY / COMPROMISE OF STATE DATA]
A security alert has been detected attributed to the user "catwoman" from the group "The Negratas," who claims to have compromised the security of the Spanish State Secretariat for Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence, gaining access to a database containing the identity documents of 11.4 million citizens.
Threat Actor: catwoman (group: The Negratas).
Scope: 11.4 million Spanish identity documents.
Details of the Compromised Data 📂
The group claims that the stolen information is extremely sensitive and comprehensive, including:
Personal Identification: National Identity Document (DNI) number, full names, signatures, facial photographs, dates of birth, gender, nationality, and place of birth.
Family and Residence Data: Parents' names, home addresses, city, province, country, and postal code.
Technical Document Information: Issue and expiration dates, media number, serial number, Machine Readable Zone (MRZ), OCR codes, issuing authority information, and security features of the electronic DNI.
Security Considerations ⚠️
Impact of the Breach: If confirmed, this breach represents one of the most critical data compromises in recent Spanish history, as the exposure of biometric data (photographs), signatures, and MRZ codes allows for advanced identity theft, financial fraud, and potential unauthorized access to government digital services that use the electronic ID card (DNIe).
Imminent Risk: Attackers are already offering this material for sale, facilitating its distribution on illicit markets.
