Scandal / 3 million mobile phones of Albanians are put up for sale, who took

Following the pay and license plate scandal, the telephone numbers of 3 million Albanians have been advertised on a website for sale.

Along with the names of the users of these numbers in the database is placed the job position of the person to whom the telephone number belongs.

The owners of the database of these numbers have also listed the selling prices. It is enough to have a bank card and in a few seconds you become their possessor. 4,000 dollars is the price for the purchase of 3 million data for Albanian mobile phone numbers.

$ 1,500 if you were to buy 1 million number records, $ 1,000 for 500,000 numbers and $ 350 per 100,000 numbers.

The possessor of 3 million Albanian telephone numbers and their seller through an internet platform is a person who uses the name Munnaf Hossain.


According to him, the list he has put up for sale is accurate, authentic, updated with correct information accompanied by phone number, name of the person and postal code.

To prove this, Munnaf Hossain has published on his website as an example a part of this database, reports journalist Muhamet Veliu.

It remains unclear how Munnaf Hossain was able to secure the 3 million Albanian mobile phone numbers at a time when the law strictly stipulates who should dispose of these numbers.

In the list published as an example for buyers, is also the name of security expert Redion Qirjazi who said that "finding the culprit always remains the biggest challenge in cyber security threats".

"This may stimulate the request of citizens not to register personal data or even worse, to aim at illegal forms of owning a mobile phone number. In the long run, this can create a situation of insecurity for the citizens and the government, which would be impossible to identify the callers, in cases of criminal actions against other individuals, society or the government, "said expert Redion Qirjazi.

In the wake of the September 11 attacks in the US, from where terrorist cells used unregistered telephone numbers, in the US and EU, legislation drastically changed to block the sale of unregistered numbers.

The same thing happened in Albania. All buyers of a number must sign a set of letters and then become the owners of the number.

But all this is devalued both in terms of privacy or security at a time when 3 million Albanian mobile numbers have been put up for sale.

"If the leak of these numbers was done by employees of security institutions that are authorized to have access, this would damage the image of institutions and create a sense of insecurity among citizens," said Redion Qirjazi.

According to expert Qirjazi, this will reduce trust in institutions that have access to Albanian mobile phone numbers, which are already on sale.
