A data breach has been reported at KFC’s Venezuela operations, where a threat actor is offering a database for sale containing personal and order information of over one million customers.
The database was advertised on a dark web forum on October 8, 2025. The file offered for sale is a 405 MB CSV containing 1,067,291 entries. This breach potentially exposes affected customers to risks of fraud and identity theft.
The compromised data reportedly includes personally identifiable information such as:
Full names Phone numbers Email addresses
The file offered for sale is a 405 MB CSV containing 1,067,291 entries.
Additionally, the data leak involves complete delivery addresses, payment method information, exchange rates used in transactions, and detailed records of ordered items with quantities and unit prices.
The dataset also contains operational details, including order creation and update timestamps, sales channel identifiers, and internal store codes. Field names are listed in Spanish, such as cliente_fullname , cliente_phone , cliente_email , and cliente_direccion , along with order-specific columns like orden_id , tienda_id , and aggregador_id .
This indicates that the threat actor accessed KFC Venezuela's order management or customer relationship management systems, potentially exposing internal processes and configurations as well as customer profiles.
Customers should monitor bank and credit card statements for unusual charges and exercise caution with unsolicited communications that appear to originate from KFC or delivery partners. Changing passwords and enabling multi-factor authentication on linked accounts is recommended to mitigate account takeover risks.
KFC Venezuela has not yet issued a statement regarding this breach. This incident underscores the necessity for fast-food and retail businesses to enhance cybersecurity measures to protect customer data. Regular security audits, stricter access controls, and employee training on phishing risks are vital in reducing the likelihood of future breaches.
