On September 19, 2026, two separate claims emerged on the dark web regarding alleged data breaches in Argentina. The first claim involves a hospital/health database purportedly containing sensitive patient information, including accession numbers and exam-related fields, although its authenticity remains unverified. The second claim involves a telecom database from Personal, allegedly containing around 129,000 records, including server logs and user IDs.
