Cybersecurity Expert Finds 43 Lines Registered Without Consent
Dr. Walid Hajjaj, a member of the Supreme Cybersecurity Advisory Committee, revealed that there is a disaster involving the registration of 43 mobile phone lines under his father’s name since 2008 without his knowledge. Employees activated these lines using photos of personal IDs through the WhatsApp application to achieve sales goals, leading to the lines being registered under the names of citizens without their awareness. He explained that the mistake stems from a lack of oversight and monitoring, and that some employees were receiving financial rewards by activating and purchasing lines using citizens' data, even though Hajjaj’s father only owns one line. He also pointed out that there are lines registered in the names of other individuals without their knowledge, which are currently being sold in the streets at low prices. This situation reflects a significant security issue regarding the protection of personal data and highlights the absence of oversight on telecommunications companies' activities.
