The data contains personal information like names, phone numbers, ID numbers, addresses, passport numbers, and other sensitive details.

Researchers from Hudson Rock confirm that the data seems to be authentic and mention that carrying out an attack on this scale against numerous insurance companies is extremely challenging.

However, the breach wasn’t sufficient for “irleaks”. On December 30th, the threat actor posted another message claiming to have hacked SnappFood, Iran’s biggest online food ordering company.

The data that was apparently exfiltrated from the company amounts to a staggering 3 Terabytes, and includes incredibly sensitive details such as:

*20,000,000 users data (emails, passwords, phone numbers)
* 51,000,000 user addresses
* 600,000 credit cards data
* 180,000,000 device related information

      Source: Infostealers

SnappFood noticed the breach and quickly stated that they are investigating the attack.

  Source: infostealers

It is worth noting that although the origin of the breach is unknown, Hudson Rock researchers identified a recently compromised employee of SnappFood who had their computer infected with a StealC infostealer.

The infection of this employee’s computer resulted in many sensitive credentials of the organization being accessible to some hackers and may have been used as an initial attack vector against the company.

  Data from the infected employee’s computer.

Some of the data includes login details to the company’s Confluence server, Jira server, and other development related URLs.

The combination of sophisticated attacks launched by a single threat actor against industry leading companies in Iran raises the question if this was a state-sponsored attack.
