The National Registry of Identification and Civil Status of Peru known as RENIEC suffered a massive data exposure impacting millions of citizens. The incident involved the unauthorized access and subsequent sale of sensitive personal identification data on underground forums. This breach exposed deep vulnerabilities in the national identification infrastructure allowing threat agents to harvest biometric data and personal identifiers. The leak significantly increased the risk of identity theft and financial fraud across the country as the database serves as the primary source for identity verification in both public and private sectors.
