An alleged data breach has surfaced on a dark web forum, reportedly targeting the Angolan government domain pape.gov.ao. The leak is said to contain personal and functional details of 245 government employees spanning different administrative sectors.
According to the forum post, the compromised data includes:
- Employee identification numbers (ID_Funcionario)
- Agent numbers (Num_Agente)
- Full names (Nome)
- Dates of birth (Data_Nasc)
- Departmental areas (Area)
- Job functions (Funcao)
The data was released in TXT/Raw Dump format, making it easily accessible and potentially exploitable by threat actors.
Leaked employee data from government systems represents a serious security risk. Exposure of this information could lead to:
- Spear-phishing campaigns against employees and their networks
- Impersonation and credential theft, leading to further compromise of government infrastructure
- Intelligence gathering by malicious actors seeking to map government structures and personnel
