Bassthalk: 1.6 million student records with ID photos offered

Overview

On September 20, 2025, a DarkForums seller operating as iDaddy offered the database of Bassthalk, an Egyptian educational platform for high school students. The post claims 1.6 million student records and 80 GB of national ID photo files, in SQL and CSV formats, priced at $5,000.

What was published

According to the post, the data covers students from approximately the last three years and includes:

• Student's full name and phone number
• Father and mother phone numbers
• Student's national ID photo
• Father's job
• Student's email and encrypted password

The seller states the dataset is available in SQL and CSV formats.

Risks for affected individuals

Egyptian high school students in the dataset face severe identity fraud risk, since national ID photos are combined with names, phones and family contact details. The pairing of ID photos with encrypted passwords enables targeted credential attacks.

What remains unknown

• Bassthalk has not publicly commented
• The download was not visible in the thread
• The claimed 1.6 million figure is not independently confirmed

What affected people should do

Egyptian students and parents should be cautious of calls or messages referencing their school records. Anyone whose national ID photo may be exposed should monitor for fraudulent use of their identity and report suspicious activity to authorities.
