Ministry of the Interior (Taiwan)

The Ministry of Interior of Taiwan suffered a data breach incident after which details of over 20 Million Taiwanese citizens were being sold on the Dark Web.

The incident compromised 3.5 GB of details such as full names, Addresses, IDs, Gender, Date of Birth, and other personal information which were named Taiwan Whole Country Home Registry DB.

The seller of the database claims that the leaked information was from 2019.

However, the Taiwanese Government denied the breach and told that the data was just a consolidated database from different sources that have been circulating over the dark web for years.
