4 hours ago, two new applications have been released to the App Store.Lebanon Directory andLebanese Car Plate Directory are applications that are the epitome of privacy breaches.
The Ministry of Interior exclusively controls data regarding license plate numbers, while the Ministry of Telecommunications is responsible for data regarding phone numbers. When such information once held only by the Government and GSM Carriers such as Alpha and MTC Touch, such information is nowreleased to the public. Makes you wonder how such information got published, and you can have access to it by a mere 6.99$ on iTunes.

Quote:Anyone using this application, could just type in any Lebanese 8 digit phone number and find out the name of the person who owns the number and their home address.

This should cause concern about privacy protection at every level, it targets the Lebanese people, and their information has become wide public.

Quote:Enter any car plate number and select its proper symbol to get its information,

You ll get back the car owners home address, their marital status, their spouse name (if available) and their car s make, model and year.
Terrifying Makes you wonder how that information got leaked?
Double U, the company behind the apps, holds all the information of the Lebanese people. The release of these databases to a third party is against the law, said Dr. Toni Issa, lawyer and president of the IT Committee for the Beyrouth Bar Association.

Quote:There is no way to obtain this information, especially that of the car plate directory, unless if someone from inside this administration copied the database containing the information, Issa said.

This blog expects a response and explanation from the Lebanese Government.
Update (Nov 17): Apple has refused to remove these applications from the App Store. It s believed that this data is queried from databases stolen from the Lebanese Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Telecommunications and have been circulating on the Internet since at least 2007.
There is also a Facebook application called Lebtel, which passes itself as a Lebanese reverse lookup directory and seems to be using the same data.

It is no secret anymore that two databases containing private informations on car registrations and phone numbers have been leaked for official entities, and widely available on the "black" (not so black and kind of overt) market. A couple of days ago, a Lebgeeker published his new product LebTel, a facebook app that allows you to browse this database. Today I stumble across this fellow Lebanese blogger denouncing an iPhone App that does the same. (The app somehow found its way in the Apple App Store, talk about strict policies).
These databases are highly illegal, and constitute a great invasion of privacy. In the total absence of any official reaction (they react when the president is insulted on Facebook, but when the whole country has their privacy torn apart, they're awfully silent), I'm sending this call to Lebgeekers and every other geek in the country.
Our access to data is a great power but a great responsibility. It is our duty to show that the hacking community here on Lebgeeks (and in Lebanon) has strong ethics. Whether you happen to own these databases or know someone who does, please avoid publishing the information publicly. Keep the databases, I do not care. But be responsible. Do not publish them on the internet.
