Massive Data Leak Exposes Sensitive Records in Quintana Roo
Chetumal, Quintana Roo — A security breach at a government data storage system has exposed thousands of sensitive records related to high-impact crimes in Quintana Roo, according to reports circulating online.
The compromised database includes personal information, contact details, and locations linked to investigations and victim assistance cases. Authorities fear the leak could endanger victims and witnesses whose identities were previously protected.
Preliminary reports indicate that unauthorized access allowed the dissemination of internal files containing data on individuals involved in sensitive legal processes, including those who filed complaints or gave statements.
