Hackers claim attack on global phone directory firm Truecaller

Syrian Electronic Army claimed this week to have taken databases from Truecaller. The group claimed to have downloaded more than 500GB of data, including the main database on the company’s website. The company says the attack was stopped quickly, and they disputed the SEA’s claims of possessing credentials to social media and email accounts. The SEA claimed that the data taken was turned over to the Syrian government, which is known for its pro-Assad stance in the Middle East and Syria. Truecallers says they do not store passwords, credit card information, or any other sensitive information about users.”]
