Pensioner fraud and data breach rumors in Argentina

Overview

In Argentina, the National Social Security Administration (ANSES) has issued warnings regarding an increase in fraudulent activities targeting retirees and pensioners. Scammers are utilizing phone calls, emails, and social media to impersonate agency officials, often employing ‘vishing’ techniques and using personal identifiers like DNI or CUIL numbers to solicit sensitive bank details and security codes.

Additionally, ANSES has addressed unverified social media reports claiming a massive data breach involving 38 million records from the Integrated Pension System (SIPA). While rumors of a leak on the dark web have circulated, the agency has officially denied that its systems were breached, stating they have received no reports of such an incident.
