Reports have surfaced on social media in Tashkent regarding a potential data leak from databases containing personal information of users of several popular Uzbek services. Among the mentioned services are SafeRoad, inDrive, Lada Auto, KiwiTaxi, and Fargo.
Digital technology expert Shukhrat Kurbanov stated that after analyzing the circulating information, he found his personal data among the records. This data includes his personal identification number (PINFL), residential addresses, as well as information about vehicles and their documents.
Initially, Kurbanov assumed that the databases contained mainly general information, such as email addresses. However, his check revealed that they might also contain more confidential data, such as PINFL numbers, home addresses, vehicle details linked to applications, car registration numbers, as well as information from driver's licenses and vehicle registration certificates.
Other posts online claim that the databases might have contained information about purchases, delivery orders, and medications bought at pharmacies several years ago.
Currently, it is not established whether the data is actually linked to the listed services or how many users might have been affected by this situation. Kurbanov expressed hope that the relevant organizations are already aware of what is happening and have begun investigating the source of the leak.
At the time of publication, the reports did not contain official confirmation of the data breach, an assessment of the number of potentially affected users, or comments from the mentioned services.
