  • Syrian Electronic Army hacked today the website and the database of  the Israeli-based “Viber” app. The SEA downloaded some of the app databases And after we gain access to soms systems of that app, it was clear for us that the propuse of this app is spying and tracking of its users. The SEA hacked the support page of the Viber app and uploaded screenshots of one of the app systems in addition to the app administrators names/phone numbers.

It is unclear if the acquired information will be used against anyone or if it has been sent to the Syrian government but hackers are keen that this app was spying on its users and users should not use this app.
