María Aperador, experta en ciberseguridad: “Han puesto a la venta millones de DNI's en la Dark Web”

Millions of Spanish identity documents have been sold on the dark web, creating severe risks for identity theft and financial fraud. The exposure enables sophisticated phishing campaigns, allowing criminals to convincingly impersonate victims to open bank accounts or commit crimes. This incident highlights the critical fragility of personal data in the digital age, demanding constant vigilance and enhanced security measures from both individuals and institutions. It is relevant to open data because it underscores the paradox where accessible information can become a vector for exploitation if not properly governed, emphasizing the urgent need for robust data protection frameworks alongside transparency initiatives.
