Over 250 million identity records have been leaked online, affecting citizens from seven countries including Turkey, Egypt, and Canada. The exposed data, which includes sensitive personal information such as ID numbers and addresses, was found on misconfigured servers, posing significant risks for identity theft and fraud. Researchers suspect a single entity may be behind the databases, though attribution remains unclear.

Prospect, a UK trade union, has notified its members of a data breach that exposed sensitive personal information, including sexual orientation and disabilities, affecting up to 160,000 individuals. The breach occurred in June 2025, but members were only informed recently, and the union is offering credit and identity monitoring services to mitigate risks. Prospect is actively investigating the incident and has advised members to enhance their personal security measures.
