Brazilian Credit Guarantor Fund Data Breach Affecting PII and Payout Data
FGC, Brazil's credit guarantor fund, reported unauthorized access to personal data and payout information in its guarantee payment systems. The breach, detected on October 26, 2026, exposed names, CPF numbers, emails, birth dates, and details about withheld taxes and distribution channels. No evidence of misuse or financial loss has surfaced yet, and the ANPD has been notified. FGC has restricted access, disabled accounts, and urged affected individuals to be wary of phishing attempts.
Be suspicious of contacts that request payments, passwords, authentication codes, or app installations, even when they mention correct information about you.
