Tayara.tn database offered for sale on DarkForums (2 million records)

Overview

On 8 June 2026, a user on the DarkForums marketplace posted a database dump claiming to contain more than two million records from tayara.tn, Tunisia's largest online classifieds platform. The poster offers the full dump, described as a 4 GB raw database export, for sale. Coverage of the claim was published by DarkWebInformer on the same day, which reports the data as customer records from the platform.

What was published

According to the listing, the dump includes:

• User names (first and last)
• Mobile phone numbers described as active
• Email addresses and hashed passwords
• Ad titles and descriptions across cars, real estate and jobs
• Listing prices, categories and locations covering Tunisia

A sample shared in the thread contains user identifiers, phone numbers with a +216 prefix, profile details and account creation timestamps from 2018, consistent with data held by the platform.

Risks for affected individuals

Phone numbers, email addresses and hashed passwords can be reused for phishing, SIM-swap attempts and credential stuffing if passwords were reused elsewhere. Ad and transaction details may also expose buying habits and contact information to third parties.

What remains unknown

The exact number of unique users is not confirmed. The poster has not released the full dataset publicly, and Tayara has not issued a public statement about the claim. The age of the data and whether it includes payment details is not stated.

What affected people should do

Tayara users should change passwords on the platform and on any service where the same password was used, and treat unsolicited messages referencing their account details as suspicious. Users should monitor their phone lines for unexpected activity and report any confirmed misuse to Tunisian authorities.
