2026 Bangladesh HIMS (hydrological / flood systems) — data sale alleged (critical infra)
Data compromised
Hydrological, flood-warning, and related operational data per actor claims
Technical writeup
OSINT blogs in April 2026 described forum claims that Bangladesh’s Hydrological Information Management System (HIMS), associated with Bangladesh Water Development Board and Flood Forecasting and Warning Center workflows, was compromised with hydrological and operational datasets (river levels, rainfall/groundwater, alerts, historical reports, dam/irrigation status, water quality) offered for sale at a low nominal price. This is primarily operational/environmental and public-safety data rather than a classic consumer PII dump; no Bangladesh government press release was indexed in the same pass; treat actor claims as unverified.
Root cause
Alleged unauthorized access to infrastructure systems (unconfirmed)
