- Cybercrime Exposure: If verified, this database could be used for phishing campaigns, SIM swapping, or other malicious activities.
- Potential Nation-State Involvement: Large-scale leaks of citizen data often indicate cyber-espionage or politically motivated attacks.
🔧 Basic Recommendations
- Iranian authorities and cybersecurity teams should investigate the legitimacy of the leak and assess potential damage.
- Citizens should be alert for phishing attempts, scams, or unusual calls/messages requesting personal information.
- Any exposed individuals should consider changing phone numbers or taking extra precautions with their personal data.
- Strengthening cyber hygiene practices, such as enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) and avoiding suspicious communications, is critical.
