IranAutoMotive.net

In early 2019 the Iranian automotive portal IranAutoMotive.net suffered a significant data breach. The incident involved the exposure of a database containing sensitive user information. The leak was likely caused by an insecure database configuration or a SQL injection vulnerability. Exposed data included personal identifiers such as names and contact details of registered users. This breach exposed Iranian citizens to potential phishing attacks and identity theft. The data was subsequently distributed on various dark web forums and underground hacking communities.
