A cybercriminal accessed Peru's National Police intelligence servers and leaked data via Telegram.
The leaked data includes police operations, tools, and personal data of Venezuelan citizens and refugees in Peru.
The attacker, self-named Inkaroot, claims to have breached DIRIN servers for the third time.
The Peruvian government, specifically the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, denied any intrusions and stated the information was classified.
