Hacker alerted about disclosure of data of 200,000 minors linked to INAU

As stated, the published information includes the name, sex, age, date of birth and status of that number of minors. As a result, the INAU began an investigation in this regard, informed the journalist Gabriel Pereyra and confirmed to The Observer the president of the institute, Pablo Abdala.

Abdala indicated that they found out about what happened through social networks and immediately reported it to the director of the Agency for Electronic Government and Information and Knowledge Society (Agesic), Hebert Paguas, who was already aware of the issue. They are currently developing an investigation to find out the nature of the leak.

There are still no certain conclusions in this regard, but the information collected so far suggests that it was not a hack itself, but rather a leak. “It does not mean that it is not equally serious,” he explained. It could be information that a user had or was somehow stolen from a user.

Although the sample presented is 200,000 children, preliminary information indicates that the number published is lower. “Although that does not mean that they do not have it,” Abdala clarified.
