Caixa Vida e Previdência breach exposes 7.6M customer records in Brazil

A hacker attack on Caixa Vida e Previdência, a subsidiary of Brazil's state-owned Caixa Econômica Federal, copied names and CPFs from the registered customer base, affecting 7.6 million individuals. The company states there are no indications of access to passwords or banking data, but the exposure of CPFs (Brazilian tax IDs) poses significant identity theft and fraud risk. This is a major data breach in Brazil's financial sector, raising concerns about cybersecurity in critical state-linked institutions.
