Argentina's National Identity Registry Allegedly Leaked, 48 Million Citizen Records With Home Addresses Offered
An actor posting as GordonFreeman claims to hold the complete database of RENAPER, Argentina's Registro Nacional de las Personas, the national authority responsible for citizen identity and the issuance of the DNI. The listing describes 48 million records in a 15.7GB file, with fields covering DNI number, full name, date of birth, municipality, province, street address, floor and apartment number, and telephone. That figure is larger than Argentina's living population, indicating a registry-wide extract rather than a subset. A sample of one million records has been published as proof, and records in it include children. The claim is unverified.

⚠Potential impact
If accurate, the affected population is effectively everyone in Argentina. The DNI is the foundation of Argentine identity, required for banking, employment, healthcare, and voting, and it cannot be reissued to escape exposure. Pairing it with full name, date of birth, and an address precise to the apartment turns the set into a national residential directory: any named person becomes locatable by anyone holding the file. Children appear in the sample with the same completeness as adults. One limiting factor is worth stating: the field list does not include photographs or biometric records, which the registry also holds, so this appears to be the demographic core rather than the full identity file.

UnverifiedA one-million-record proof sample is hosted publicly; Dark Web Informer is not reproducing that location or the contact route. The record count exceeds the living population, which is consistent with a registry retaining deceased and historical entries but has not been confirmed. The registry has been the subject of previous security incidents, so whether this is a new compromise, an aggregation, or recirculated material is unestablished. The account holds moderate standing. The claim is unverified and RENAPER has not publicly addressed it.
