Operation Hecatombe: Alleged Data Breach Involving SAIME, SAREN, and the Border ID Card
On May 8, 2026, L4TAMFUCKERS/GordonFreeman claimed on dark web sources and through OSINT monitoring that an alleged “Operation Hecatombe Venezuela” was targeting the Venezuelan government’s identity systems. The alleged data set combines a SAIME biographical database of approximately 35.2 million records, SAREN civil documents totaling several terabytes, and approximately 92,000 Border ID card records. The publicly available evidence supports a single bundled claim/operation, not separate intrusions by agency. No official confirmation or independent verification of authenticity was found. Cashea is excluded from this record because it appears in related news reports as a separate claim.
Anonymous Claims Responsibility for Attack on the Autonomous Service of Registries and Notaries (SAREN)
In August 2024, the hacktivist group Anonymous allegedly launched a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack against the Autonomous Service of Registries and Notaries (SAREN). The attack was part of a broader wave of cyber operations targeting the Venezuelan government’s infrastructure. While the incident caused temporary disruptions to the agency’s online services, there was no confirmed evidence of a data breach or significant material loss as a result of this specific event.
