Why it matters

If confirmed, staff, contractor, landholder and procurement records could be exposed, enabling targeted phishing and fraud against people linked to the project. PECH runs dams, canals and water supply for one of Peru's largest agricultural regions and also supplies water to Trujillo. The claim is unverified and the poster is a new forum account.

What to do

Monitor dark web channels for data samples and new claims against PECH. Warn staff and contractors about phishing attempts that use real data. Have the security team check for anomalous access and the integrity of agency databases.
