Leak of confidential information

Unattributed claim regarding an alleged database of Venezuelan citizens

On December 12, 2025, a LeakBase URL was indexed in connection with a claim regarding an alleged database containing personal information on 14 million Venezuelan citizens. The alleged data reportedly included national ID numbers, types of identification, first names, last names, and gender. The original thread is no longer available following the seizure of LeakBase in March 2026; no independent corroboration was found from media outlets, NGOs, security firms, or breach trackers, and the value previously stored as an alias is considered an interface artifact or scraping error.
