SafeRoad operator denies reports of user data leak

"The information is untrue," SAFE Service said in a statement. The company claims that the data being circulated has no relation to it, and that user information is protected in accordance with the legislation of Uzbekistan. According to SAFE Service, it is cooperating with authorized government agencies regarding the dissemination of this information. The SafeRoad app is used in Uzbekistan to pay traffic fines and purchase mandatory motor third-party liability insurance (OSAGO).

The day before, reports emerged on social media about a possible leak of databases containing personal information of clients from several services: SafeRoad, inDrive, Lada Auto, KiwiTaxi, and Fargo. Digital technology expert Shukhrat Kurbanov stated that after checking these records, he found his own data in them: PINFL, residential address, information about vehicles, and vehicle registration documents. According to him, he had expected to find mostly general information such as email addresses.

Other posts claimed that the databases might contain details from ID cards, bank cards linked to fine payments, and devices used to access the application, as well as records of purchases, deliveries, and medicines bought at pharmacies several years ago. Whether these data pertain to the named services and how large the scale of the potential leak is have not been established. There is no independent confirmation of the breach, and no official reaction from the other services has been reported.
