# SKIF Belgium (Shotokan Karate-do International Federation Belgium)

Data breach — High

A threat actor named ChimeraZ claimed on 9 October 2026 to have stolen a database tied to the website of the Belgian karate federation SKIF Belgium, and is offering it for sale on a cybercriminal forum. The actor states it holds 9,366 rows covering 8,840 people, split across four files: members, event registrations, external persons and administrative logs. The samples reviewed by FrenchBreaches contain names, dates of birth, postal addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, club, grade, membership and renewal dates, registration amounts and statuses, and data about minors.

These identity and contact details, including those of minors, allow a malicious party to run targeted phishing campaigns that draw on club membership and event registrations.

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Disclosed on | October 9, 2026 |
| Incident dated | October 9, 2026 |
| Accounts affected | 8,840 |
| Sector | Nonprofits |
| Country | Belgium |
| Cause | Undisclosed |
| Severity | High |
| Status | Reported |

## Exposed data

- Full name
- Date of birth
- Postal address
- Email address
- Phone number
- Customer ID
- Other personal data

## What you can do

- Expect phishing attempts quoting your name and this company. A message that knows your details is not legitimate for that reason.
- You can ask the organisation exactly what was exposed about you (right of access), and complain to the DPA if no answer comes within a month.
