Karafs Fitness App Leak Exposes User Data

A popular fitness app called Karafs, used by over five million people primarily in Iran and by Persian-speaking minorities elsewhere, has exposed sensitive user data due to a security misconfiguration. The unprotected MongoDB database contained more than three million records, including names, phone numbers, email addresses, and detailed health information such as weight, diseases, and allergies. While the database has since been secured, it’s unclear how long the data was exposed or if any unauthorized parties accessed it during that time.

Cybernews researchers discovered the vulnerability and contacted the company, but received no response regarding whether affected individuals were informed or what steps were taken to prevent future incidents. The exposed data puts users at risk of identity theft, fraud, and privacy violations, particularly given the sensitive nature of the health-related information involved. The breach underscores the significant risks associated with digital health and fitness apps that collect and store personal data.

Iran’s unique internet landscape, characterized by stringent regulations and controlled access, adds complexity to the situation. Apps like Karafs play a vital role in providing services within this restricted environment, making the protection of user data even more crucial. The breach reveals the potential dangers users face when personal health data is not adequately secured, especially in regions with heightened privacy concerns.

Cybernews researchers emphasized the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in digital health applications to maintain user trust and ensure the privacy and security of sensitive information. The incident highlights the need for companies to implement vigilant data protection practices, particularly for apps handling personal and health-related data, to prevent similar breaches in the future.
