  • •700,000 individuals' personal data leaked online following a cyberattack on IFAPME.
  • •Sensitive information includes bank account numbers and national registration numbers.
  • •Data was previously compromised in a February 2026 attack and is now freely available.

A cyberattack on IFAPME, a Walloon training organization, has resulted in the leak of personal data belonging to 700,000 individuals. The stolen data, which includes sensitive information such as bank account numbers and national registration numbers, was made available for free on a dark web forum. This incident follows a previous cyberattack in February 2026, where similar data was initially sold on the dark web. Frenchbreaches, a data breach tracking website, reported that the leaked files became accessible on October 4, 2026. The exposure of such sensitive information significantly increases the risk of identity theft and financial fraud for the affected individuals. The dataset reportedly contains at least 85,000 bank account numbers along with names, birth dates, addresses, phone numbers, and email accounts. The presence of Belgian national registration numbers is particularly concerning due to their permanent nature. The organization has not yet commented on the latest breach.
