Argaam Investment Company (Argaam), the Arab world’s leading financial news portal and data provider, has reportedly suffered a significant data breach. A threat actor is claiming to sell a database containing 2 million records, asserting that it includes comprehensive user details and credentials. Argaam, which provides real-time updates on financial markets and macroeconomics in Saudi Arabia, is a critical information hub for investors and C-level executives across the Gulf region.
The actor provided a screenshot of what appears to be an administrative interface titled “All Users”. This panel displays sensitive information including user IDs, display names, and email addresses, with a navigation bar suggesting thousands of pages of records.
The allegedly compromised data includes:
-
Full names
-
Email addresses
-
Phone numbers
-
Passwords
-
Display names
-
User IDs
-
Account status (e.g., Active)
-
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) status
-
Subscription and account access levels
-
Account creation and update timestamps
