MortemTeam claims leak of 50 million Spanish government records
MortemTeam posted on a dark web forum a database of about 2TB it attributes to the Spanish government, claiming more than 50 million records of 2026 data, including personal data and photos of identity documents. According to the group, the material is being loaded into its paid lookup bot, which also covers Peru, Brazil, the US, Mexico, Chile and Colombia. The claim is unverified, Spanish authorities have made no public statement, and DailyDarkWeb notes the set may be compiled from older leaks or several sources.
What happened
The MortemTeam group claims it breached the Spanish government and posted on a dark web forum a database of about 2TB with more than 50 million records it describes as 2026 data. According to the group, the material includes personal data and photos of identity documents. The claim has not been verified and Spanish authorities have issued no public statement.
Why it matters
If genuine, the material exposes personal data and identity document photos of Spanish citizens, raising identity-theft and fraud risk. DailyDarkWeb assesses the set may be compiled from older leaks or several sources rather than one new intrusion. The group sells access to the database through a paid lookup bot.
What to do
Treat as an unverified claim and monitor official Spanish channels for confirmation. Check whether organization or Spanish customer data appears in the group's lookup bot and prepare a notification response. Strengthen controls against fraudulent use of identities.
