Atraf, an Israeli LGBTQ dating app, suffered a data breach exposing over 500,000 users' personal information.

The leaked data includes clear text passwords and payment card details, heightening the risk of financial fraud.

Iranian hacker group Black Shadow demanded a $1 million ransom after compromising an Israeli hosting service linked to the app.

Compromised information encompasses full names, addresses, phone numbers, and plain text passwords, increasing the risk of identity theft and personal harassment.

Users are urged to change their passwords and be vigilant of potential phishing attempts via email.

The breach's timeline indicates the records date back to 2021, confirming the potential authenticity of the leaked data.

Affected individuals are encouraged to contact Atraf for support and to address any security concerns.
