Algérie Poste: ECCP account credentials disclosed on DarkForums

Overview

On August 19, 2025, a DarkForums user writing as Silenth3x Dz claimed that Algérie Poste, Algeria's national postal and financial services operator, had been compromised. The post states that access was gained to certain accounts within the ECCP payment system due to insufficient server monitoring, and includes a list of account identifiers paired with passwords.

What was published

The thread contains a long list of entries pairing ECCP identifiers with credential strings, consistent with the format used by the Algerian electronic payment system. No database file or download link is provided in the visible part of the thread; the credentials appear to be posted directly in the message.

Risks for affected individuals

Algerians using ECCP services linked to Algérie Poste accounts face a risk of unauthorized access to payment services if their credentials are in the list. Credential reuse across banking or government portals amplifies the risk of account takeover.

What remains unknown

• Algérie Poste has not publicly confirmed the incident
• The total number of affected accounts is not disclosed
• It is unclear how the credentials were obtained and whether they were current at the time of posting

What affected people should do

Algerian account holders should change passwords for any Algérie Poste or ECCP-related service and avoid reusing them elsewhere. Monitoring account statements for unauthorized transactions and enabling SMS alerts is recommended.
