A French seller is offering a file containing over 10 million records purportedly linked to French car owners, including personal details and vehicle information.

A French seller is offering a file containing over 10 million records purportedly linked to French car owners, including personal details and vehicle information. The seller claims the file is for sale for $100. The announcement was posted on a Telegram account monitored by ZATAZ since at least June 2025. The file contains fields such as client_id, name, address, postal code, city, mobile, email, vehicle registration, make, model, and serial number.

While the announcement highlights the potential value of combining personal information with vehicle details – enabling targeted criminal activity against car owners, collectors, or those interested in cryptocurrency – the origin, freshness, and actual number of individuals affected remain unverified. The Telegram account linked to the seller has been under surveillance by ZATAZ since at least June 2025.

The file is presented as a CSV format, a common method for exchanging data. The columns indicate the type of information contained within each record. The seller claims the file is a ‘proof’ of a data breach, but this is not substantiated by the information provided. The announcement does not reveal how the data was obtained or which organization may have been breached.

It’s important to note that the seller’s claim of a $100 price is remarkably low given the volume of data – approximately 0.00000842 EUR per record. The announcement does not provide any information about the file's structure, potential duplicates, or indicators of freshness, making it difficult to assess its true value and scope. The seller’s Telegram account has been under surveillance by ZATAZ since at least June 2025.

Due to the potential for misuse, ZATAZ recommends caution and further investigation to determine the source and validity of the data.
