The popular Israeli dating app "Atref" returned today (Wednesday) to the app store, after about two years of absence.
The application, which operated for about a decade and was particularly popular among the gay community in Israel, was closed in 2022 following a hack into the servers of Cyberserve, its storage company.
The hack exposed the details of the app's users, including names, email addresses, phone numbers and photos.
In addition, the hacked database also included sensitive information, such as HIV status and sexual preferences.
Following the hack, Cyberserve announced the temporary closure of the application, until it can ensure the safety of the users.
Behind the hack was the Black Shadow attack group affiliated with the Iranian regime.
In addition, the group is also responsible for attacking the Shirbit insurance company.
