Association Nationale des Premiers Secours Data Breach Hits 299,589

HEROIC analysts identified a data breach at Association Nationale des Premiers Secours (ANPS) from January 2026 that exposed 299,589 records. Each one can include a name, an email address, a phone number, a birthday, and a gender marker. The only way to know if you are one of the people in that file is to scan your email.

Why a Birthday and Phone Number Together Matter

On their own, a name or a birthday rarely causes harm. Put a phone number, a full name, and a date of birth in the same record, and you have exactly what someone needs to sound convincing while posing as a bank, a government office, or a service you actually use.

What the ANPS Records Include

• Email Address: gives an attacker a direct channel to reach you.
• First Name: adds a personal detail that makes a scam message feel real.
• Last Name: paired with other fields, confirms a specific identity.
• Phone Number: opens the door to scam calls and text messages.
• Birthday: often used as a security question answer or identity check.
• Gender: adds another detail that can make a targeted message more convincing.

Where This Kind of Exposure Tends to Lead

Records like these rarely lead straight to a drained account. Instead, they feed phishing emails and scam calls that reference your real name, birthday, or phone number to seem legitimate, pushing people toward clicking a link or handing over more sensitive details.

What a Breach Like This Looks Like From the Inside

A breach tied to Database records like this one comes from the organization's own systems being accessed, not from malware on a personal device. That means everyone whose information was stored there, not just a careless few, can end up in a file like this.

How to Check If Your Record Is Among the 299,589

Take a moment to scan your email and see if your address shows up in this exposure. If it does, be extra cautious with calls or emails that reference your name, birthday, or phone number, and avoid confirming any personal details to an unexpected contact. This is worth doing for a work email too if it was ever on file with ANPS.
