First lawsuit against cyber-serve which was attacked by Black Shadow: user of the Atraf app filed a class action lawsuit

Posted on Nov 5, 2021 by Ifi Reporter - Dan Bielski

First lawsuit against cyber serve: A user of the Atraf app, whose database was leaked this week, filed a class action lawsuit in the Central Lod District Court. The request for the class action was filed alongside a request for a ban on publishing the name or identifying details of the user who filed the claim, as this is a case of sensitive information leakage. The presentation of her details to the court will be done under confidentiality, and she is willing to reveal her identity to the cyber-refuser only on the condition that she undertakes not to reveal her details.
The class action lawsuit details the events of the past week, in which a group of hackers called "Black Shadow" managed to infiltrate the servers of a cyber-serve and steal databases, including the Atref app, a dating service for the LGBT community. The entire lawsuit for the network. The lawsuit demands compensation of NIS 500 for each user whose privacy was violated after the information about it was leaked to the network. These include the Privacy Act, the Contracts Act and the Torts Act.
The plaintiff who filed the class action is a paying customer of the service, who subscribed to the app and paid about NIS 45 a month for it for several months. This means that not only her personal details such as phone, email and sexual orientation were leaked - but also credit card details. The lawsuit seeks that all Atref customers, both paying customers and those who have used the free service, be defined as the group of plaintiffs who will be rehabilitated.
The request states that "sensitive personal information was leaked to the network and the consequences of this are clear. The failure of cyber-refusal and the negligence that characterizes its behavior caused the database to be leaked even though it received alerts from the cyber system several times about security breaches." It was also written: "The members of the group have suffered a material violation of their privacy and expectations for the protection of information, and heavy damages that are mainly non-pecuniary damages."
