Threat actor alleges leak of SINACOL and CENCOLAB representatives database

· 1 min read

A threat actor posted on a dark web forum and a Telegram channel a database they claim holds representatives registered on Mexico's labor conciliation platforms SINACOL and CENCOLAB, with names, contacts, CURP, RFC and power-of-attorney details. There is no official confirmation, the number of affected people is unknown, and the data may have been scraped from a portal rather than back-end systems. Treat it as an unverified claim and monitor for misuse of CURP and RFC numbers.

Why it matters

If authentic, per DailyDarkWeb, CURP and RFC numbers paired with legal-representation records are a ready kit for identity fraud and for impersonating legal representatives in labor disputes. The number of affected people has not been stated. Companies with representatives on these platforms face fraud exposure.

What to do

Treat it as an unverified claim and watch for official confirmation. Alert representatives registered on SINACOL and CENCOLAB and monitor for misuse of CURP and RFC numbers, including fraudulent representation in labor disputes.
