2026 Iran Hajj & Pilgrimage Organization — forum claim of 168M+ records (May 31)
Data compromised
Alleged national IDs, passports, contact data, travel and financial documents per forum marketing
Technical writeup
On May 31, 2026, a criminal forum seller marketed a database allegedly from Iran’s Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization spanning 1984–2024 with more than 168 million records, including national identifiers, passport details, travel itineraries, banking documents, and pilgrimage application metadata. The listing asked roughly $80,000 in Bitcoin. No Iranian government confirmation or independent forensic validation was available at catalog time; BreachHistory uses the actor-claimed 168M figure as an upper-bound marketing total subject to verification and overlap with prior leaks.
