forasna.com (Egypt): Breach Report

Overview

A dark web user published what is described as a 764,000-record database from forasna.com, an Egyptian recruitment platform. The dump covers candidate contact, job application, and engagement data, according to the forum post on DarkForums.as.

What was published

The poster describes the dataset as a structured export with three logical blocks.

• Candidate contact: names, emails, mobile and home phones, gender, date of birth, nationality, marital status, addresses, LinkedIn and Twitter handles, consent and campaign fields
• Job application: application dates, desired positions, expected salary, resume document references, interview rounds, offer and rejection records, source channel
• Candidate engagement: interaction and communication logs tied to each candidate

The source platform forasna.com is not named. The stated total is about 764K records, though the post shows schema and headers rather than a bulk sample.

Risks for affected individuals

Egyptian job seekers face targeted phishing built on real employment history. Email and phone plus career details let attackers craft convincing job-offer scams. Linked resume data adds to exposure if it becomes accessible.

What remains unknown

• Whether the full 764K total was actually distributed
• Which platform supplied the data and whether it matches forasna.com's user base
• The age of the records
• Any confirmation from the affected platform

What affected people should do

Job seekers who used Egyptian recruitment platforms should treat unexpected job offers with caution and verify the sender before sharing details. They should report suspicious identity misuse. The affected platform should investigate the claim, secure its stored applicant data, and notify users under applicable data protection rules.
