In January 2021 a new leak was revealed in Brazil, with the source being linked to Experian's Brazilian subsidiary Serasa Experian. The breach resulted in data of 220 million citizens (including some already dead) being sold in the web. This is probably the most severe data breach in history, as it includes names, social security numbers, income tax declaration forms, addresses and other private information on nearly all Brazilian citizens.<ref>{{Cite news |title=The largest personal data leakage in Brazilian history |work=OpenDemocracy.net |url=https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/largest-personal-data-leakage-brazilian-history |access-date=2021-02-22 |archive-date=24 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210224140707/https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/largest-personal-data-leakage-brazilian-history/ |url-status=live}}</ref> Experian claims there's no evidence that its systems have been compromised, but this lack of evidence doesn't explain it being the only probable source for the data. According to a Brazilian consumer rights foundation, the company has not been handling the breach appropriately.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Experian Challenged Over Massive Data Leak in Brazil |work=ZDNET |url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/experian-challenged-over-massive-data-leak-in-brazil/ |access-date=2021-02-22 |archive-date=22 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210222132857/https://www.zdnet.com/article/experian-challenged-over-massive-data-leak-in-brazil/ |url-status=live}}</ref>
