The hackers from the BlackShadow group, who broke into the servers of the insurance company Shirbit, said in a conversation with Walla!

NEWS that they have information (ie: thousands of gigabytes) of information, and that they intend to sell the leaked customer information.

The leaked documents also show, among other things, a number of documents of a lack of insurance history, including full names, addresses, and identity cards.



The hacker group claimed responsibility for the hack into the company's servers, and posted huge amounts of customer and document information on its Twitter and telegram accounts, from 2012 to 2020, and earlier their volume was estimated at 929 gigabytes.

It is estimated that this is information from tens of thousands of insured persons, and sometimes it includes ID numbers - which are used by many bodies, including government bodies, as a secondary means of verification.

Less than a month ago, Shirbit won a tender for private car insurance for civil servants in 2021, with many insured serving in the security forces.



Among the recordings posted on the attackers' telegram page, there is a conversation with a customer, her ID number and the details of the accident she spoke to the company about.

In addition, an email was published containing credit card details, as well as the details of Judge Gilad Neutel, who serves as president of the Tel Aviv District Court.

From the documents published by the blackShadow group)

The hacker group's accounts announced the attack as early as 4pm yesterday.

However, just this morning, "Shirbit" announced, in conjunction with the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Authority and the National Cyber ​​Array, that it is investigating a suspicion of a cyber attack on the company's website and its servers and a leak of private customer information.

The company began investigating the suspicion last night, and asked the national cyber system to assist them in locating the information leak and the damage of the hack.



The joint announcement to the company and the capital authority stated that the investigation into the matter is ongoing but according to India that they estimate that information has indeed been leaked.

"An initial inspection shows that this is information about customers' insurance details. In a joint effort by the authority and the system, the inspection continues," it was reported.

The cyber system and the Capital Market Authority stated that "as a result, the system, together with the authority, has refined its guidelines for the institutional bodies in the economy."
