Alleged Philippine Bureau of Internal Revenue Data Leak Claims Exposure of 340,000 Records
MANILA, Philippines — A threat actor using the alias “sinigangmixwithgabi” has allegedly claimed responsibility for exposing a database containing approximately 340,000 lines of data supposedly associated with the Philippines' Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).
The claim surfaced on a cybercrime-related forum on November 5, 2026, where the user published a thread titled “Philippines Bureau of Internal Revenue Data 340K Lines.” The post reportedly includes a description of the BIR and a download link to the allegedly compromised dataset.
Based on the published forum entry, the threat actor is advertising the purported database as containing information connected to the country's primary tax collection agency, which operates under the Department of Finance.
As of this report, there is no confirmed public statement from the Bureau of Internal Revenue acknowledging the alleged incident.
