It looks like someone at Viber has been very careless with security, and potentially put its users at risk.
The notorious Syrian Electronic Army has claimed credit for an attack against the free phonecall and texting app, which has seen Viber’s Support and Knowledgebase website commandeered by the hacking group, and private data about users published on the web.
Part of the message on the defaced website reads:
Hacked by Syrian Electronic Army
Dear All Viber Users,
The Israeli-based "Viber" is spying and tracking you
We weren't able to hack all Viber systems, but most of it is designed for spying and tracking
Screenshot of a hacked system:
Embedded within the defaced webpage is a link to a screencapture of what appears to be an internal database by Viber employees showing users’ phone numbers, device UDID, country, IP address, operating system and version, first registration to Viber, and what version of Viber they are using.
In addition, the hackers published the names, phone numbers and email addresses of Viber administrators.
This is obviously highly damaging to Viber.
The Syrian Electronic Army meanwhile is happy to put the boot in, tweeting out:@official_SEA12 Warning: If you have "Viber" app installed we advise you to delete it
