policia.gob.pe Listed by lockbit3 Ransomware Group

On December 10, 2023, the national police force of Peru, Policía Nacional del Perú, appeared on the leak site operated by the LockBit 3 ransomware group. The listing states that all confidential data was stolen during a ransomware attack on policia.gob.pe. The disclosure does not quantify how many individuals are affected, nor does it list the specific files taken.

Already exposed?

You can’t unleak data. You can take away what it’s worth.

A leaked record is where it starts, not where it ends. What turns it into your front door is the look-up sites publishing your address beside your name — and those are what an AI reads when somebody asks about you. The free scan shows you both. We write to 580 companies.

Details from the Leak Site

The LockBit 3 leak page claims the Peruvian National Police were compromised and that internal files were exfiltrated. It presents the incident as a completed ransomware operation in which data was taken before any encryption occurred on the victim’s systems. The primary disclosure gives no breakdown of the records involved, such as personnel files, investigation documents, informant details, or administrative databases. No ransom amount or payment deadline is shown in the listing itself. The attack is dated in the public record to late 2023, with the data posted for anyone to download or view on the dark-web portal.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a national police agency loses control of internal files, the exposure reaches far beyond government servers. Ordinary citizens who interacted with police—through traffic stops, crime reports, licensing, or background checks—may have personal details stored in those systems. If your name, address, national ID number, phone number, or family member information appears in police records, that data can now circulate among criminals. Peruvian citizens and anyone who has lived or worked in Peru face heightened risk of identity theft, targeted scams, and physical threats derived from leaked police information.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Stolen police files frequently contain linked identifiers: full names tied to home addresses, vehicle registrations, family relationships, and contact details. Attackers can combine this information with data from earlier breaches to build complete identity chains. A single leaked police record can expose not only you but also your spouse, children, and extended household. These chains often reach gaming accounts, where usernames, email addresses, and passwords are reused. Once criminals control a child’s gaming profile tied to a family address, they can launch further social-engineering attacks or sell the access on underground markets. The result is persistent doxxing that can last for years.

Unverified claim — what this report is

This page documents a public listing on a ransomware/extortion group’s leak site, tracked via public threat-intelligence sources. A listing is the attacker’s claim. GalaxyWarden aggregates and reports such claims; we have not independently verified that a breach occurred, what data (if any) was taken, or the accuracy of anything the group asserts, and the named organisation has not necessarily confirmed the incident. Sections above describe what the listing shows and the group’s documented history — not verified findings about the named organisation. If you represent this organisation and believe anything here is inaccurate, tell us and we’ll review it promptly.

Editorial & sourcing policy

GalaxyWarden is a breach-monitoring service and news aggregator. We do not exfiltrate, host, purchase, or redistribute stolen data. Breach information is compiled from publicly accessible sources and threat-intelligence platforms, and is reported as claims attributed to their source. We promptly correct or remove material shown to be inaccurate — see our content & takedown policy or write to support@galaxywarden.com.
