In a shocking development, a cybercriminal is selling a file containing 5.7 million images of Argentine driver’s licenses, including those of famous individuals like the President of the Nation and other officials.

The sample also includes licenses of celebrities and politicians like Ricardo Darín, Luisana Lopilato, and Mauricio Macri.

The leaked data includes sensitive information like blood type and driver impairments, making it valuable for cybercrimes.
