Vodafone.com.eg

In January 2019 the leading Egyptian telecommunications provider Vodafone Egypt suffered a significant data breach affecting approximately 11.3 million customers. The incident involved the exposure of sensitive subscriber information including mobile numbers and personal identity details. Investigations suggest the data was obtained through unauthorized access to internal systems or databases. The leaked dataset was later spotted on various underground forums where it was offered for sale or shared among cybercriminals. This breach highlighted vulnerabilities in the security infrastructure of major telecom operators in the Middle East region risking identity theft and targeted phishing attacks for millions of users.
