Threat actor claims full ANSES database, Argentina's social security agency

· 1 min read

A threat actor on an underground forum claims to sell a full database of ANSES, the Argentine federal agency that runs pensions and social benefits. The offer was posted by a newly created account (Oct 2026) and has not been verified. If genuine, it would fuel large-scale identity fraud and benefit-themed phishing.

Why it matters

ANSES holds records on most of Argentina's population, according to the source. A genuine dump would fuel large-scale identity fraud and benefit-themed phishing. The source notes ANSES data has been claimed in earlier leaks, so the database may be partly recycled.

What to do

Monitor forums and resale channels for confirmation or samples of the database. Brief fraud and customer-service teams on scams that use benefit data. Wait for an official ANSES statement before treating it as a confirmed breach.
