VOIP Provider Viber Attacked By Syrian Electronic Army

An anonymous reader writes "The hacking group known as the Syrian Electronic Army have hacked into Viber, defacing its support website, and posting what they claim is evidence of surveillance by the free phone-messaging app. The Syrian Electronic Army posted a message claiming the 'Israeli-based Viber is spying and tracking you' alongside what appeared to be a screenshot of an internal Viber database containing users' phone numbers, device UDIDs, IP address, operating system, and Viber version information." Viber is saying the attack was minor: "...the hack only allowed access to two minor systems, a customer support panel and a support administration system. According to the company's official response, 'no sensitive user data was exposed and Viber's databases were not "hacked."' Apparently, an employee simply fell victim to a phishing attack.

About israel.

In fact i'm tired of hearing about them. And giving them lots of my tax money every year. That's just stupid.

Screenshot? With phone numbers, device UDIDs, IP address, operating system, and Viber version information? I would hope the company has that kind of information. It's their JOB after all.

Either way. STFU syrian assholes. You're not helping. No matter what your beef with israel is.
