You must be using the Truecaller app. Truecaller is accused of leaked of Truecaller data of the Indian user. Today I am explaining to you about the Truecaller data leaked of Indian users. Read this post till the end to know more about this.
According to the online intelligence firm Cybele report, Truecaller data of 4.75 crore Indian users have been put on sale on the dark web. While Truecaller denied the report of Cyble and saying there is no breach on its database.
In a blog post, Cyble said that information on the dark web has been categorized based on Cities, States, and Carriers. Also, Truecaller data is from 2019 on the dark web. User information available including phone number, name, gender, carrier, Facebook ID, email ID, and many more. On its blog post, Cyble also published the leaked detail. This information will lead to finding scams, spam, and identity theft.
Truecaller denies the report and said that there is no data breach as claimed by Cyble. A Truecaller spokesperson said in a statement that thank you for bringing this to our attention.
All the information is safe, there is no breach of our database. We take the privacy of our users and the integrity of our services very seriously and we are constantly monitoring suspicious activities.
In May 2019 we were informed about the same sales of data. We urge the public and users not to be misled by such bad actors. Whose primary motive is to cheat people for money. They do it for money because doing this lends some credibility to the data and makes them easier to sell.
Truecaller also stated that it does not upload a user’s phone book which is a common misconception. While its database is populated daily by users who mark numbers as spam, correct names as well as names. Cyble is yet to respond to this statement.
