An online user is claiming to be selling a massive database of car owners in Lebanon that contains 3 million records.
The offer was first posted back on June 1st by a person who goes by the username PieWithNothing on the RaidForums database-sharing and marketplace forum.
RaidForums is a high-profile platform with around 450,000 registered users that discuss database leaks, hacking, and various other technology-related topics.
The user in question claims that the car owners database is 2021-relevant and that it includes the following data fields and others:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Place of birth
- Address
- Phone number
- Plate number
- Chassis number
- Engine number
- Car model
- Car brand
- Car color
- Acquisition date
The user accompanied the post with a sample of the database showing several entries that include data from the above fields.
The unidentified user is selling the database for $600. As of August 12th, the database was still on sale, according to a comment posted by the same user.
If that illegal sale of data goes through, 3 million Lebanese will bear the consequences of having their personal information out in the wind, and in the hands of fraudsters.
