Database Of 3 Million Lebanese Car Owners Is Being Sold Online
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.
