An online panel providing searchable access to what it claims is “the biggest Syrian people database” has been discovered after being advertised on a hacking forum. The website features a simple interface with search fields for an individual’s name, email, or phone number. The panel displays results in a grid, showing partial and often blurred information to non-paying users, a method designed to expose the personal data of Syrian citizens.
The platform operates on a tiered-access model created to monetize the allegedly stolen information. The free search results are intentionally limited to pressure users into paying for complete data records. A prominent “Unlock Premium” function is built into the interface, leading to a section that details the full, uncensored data that is allegedly available for purchase, posing a severe threat to the privacy and security of individuals.
This premium access is being sold through a third-party e-commerce site, where a 30-day access key to the panel is offered for $49.00. After payment, a key is provided which can be entered directly into the panel to unlock the complete dataset. This paid access allegedly exposes a trove of highly sensitive personal information.
The full dataset allegedly includes:
- Full data length (names, emails, phone numbers)
- Passwords
- Physical addresses
- Unblurred personal pictures
