National Civil Service Commission of Colombia Listed by Kazu Ransomware Group

On November 10, 2025, the National Civil Service Commission of Colombia appeared on the leak site of the kazu ransomware group. The government agency responsible for merit-based hiring of public servants is claimed to have had internal files exfiltrated following a ransomware attack. Anyone who has applied for a Colombian civil service position, taken one of the agency’s exams, or had their personal information submitted to the CNSC portal may now be at risk.

What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting indicates the CNSC’s official portal was compromised and that attackers successfully exfiltrated internal documents. The data was later published on the kazu ransomware group’s leak site. No precise victim count has been released, and the exact volume or specific categories of records remain unclear from available reporting. The breach involves a Colombian government body that holds employment records, application forms, identification details, and related personal information for current and prospective public employees.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you or anyone in your household has ever applied for a government job in Colombia, your name, national ID number, contact details, employment history, and possibly family information could be in the stolen files. Once published on a ransomware leak site, that data becomes freely available to identity thieves, scammers, and harassers. Criminals routinely combine government employment records with other leaks to build detailed profiles that lead to account takeovers, tax fraud, or targeted phishing. For families, a single exposed record can affect spouses, children listed as dependents, or anyone sharing an address or phone number.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Ransomware leaks like this one rarely stop at the initial dataset. Attackers and subsequent opportunists use the exposed government files to link email addresses, phone numbers, and full names to social-media handles, gaming accounts, and other online profiles. This creates an identity chain that can lead to doxxing, swatting, or sustained harassment. Credential leaks from one breach frequently cascade into gaming platforms, where children’s accounts become entry points for further compromise. Available reporting describes how such chains allow attackers to map relationships across services, turning a single government breach into long-term exposure for entire households.
