🚨 148 Million Brazilian PII Records Exposed
A misconfigured Elasticsearch instance was discovered, potentially exposing over 148 million records containing Brazilian citizens' personally identifiable information (PII).
The exposed data includes:
- CPF (Brazilian taxpayer ID) numbers
- Full names
- Dates of birth
- Residential addresses and postal codes
- Phone numbers
Validation: Sample records were cross-checked against Brazil’s official CPF registry, confirming matching identity details.
The dataset shares similarities with previously reported Brazilian data leaks, including the massive 2021 breach. However, its original source remains unconfirmed. Reported to the hosting provider.
⚠️ Risks: Identity theft, financial fraud, targeted phishing, and social engineering.
