## Around 347,000 Ecuadorian Citizens' Facial and Biometric Records Allegedly Offered for Sale

A threat actor using the alias **Albertcamus** is advertising what they describe as a database of facial images and identity records for **347,178 Ecuadorian citizens**. Per the post, the dataset pairs hundreds of thousands of facial photographs (JPG) with a metadata file containing each person's **national ID number (cédula)**, full name, nationality, gender, date of birth, birthplace, civil status, profession, and a **dactilar (fingerprint) code**. The sample records shared by the seller **include minors**, indicating the database holds biometric and identity data of children as well as adults. Because this is **biometric data, it is permanent and cannot be changed once exposed**. The dataset's authenticity and scope are **unverified**.

### ⚠Potential impact

This is a critical exposure because it concerns **biometric data, which is permanent and irrevocable**: unlike a password, a person's face and fingerprints cannot be reset once leaked. The dataset reportedly combines facial photographs with national ID numbers, full names, dates of birth, birthplaces, and fingerprint codes, forming a complete identity profile for each individual. Such data enables identity theft, biometric spoofing and authentication bypass, large-scale impersonation, and persistent surveillance or tracking. The exposure is especially grave because the seller's own samples include **minors**, meaning children's faces, identities, and biometrics are part of the dataset, placing a vulnerable group at heightened and long-lasting risk. No records, names, ID numbers, images, or contact details from the listing are reproduced here. The authenticity and scope are unverified.

### iStatus

Unverified 

The seller offers samples via a messaging channel. The sample records (which include minors' personal data), the citizens' identifying details, the facial images, and the seller's contact handle are **not** reproduced or linked here. The claim has **not been independently confirmed** and Ecuadorian authorities have not publicly addressed it. If accurate, this would warrant urgent notification of Ecuador's data-protection authority and civil registry.
