ElSurveillance

ElSurveillance, also known by the alias @ElSurveillance, is an organisation headquartered in the United States of America. The entity is referenced in public sources primarily in connection with specific cyber incidents. No additional details about its core products, services, or organisational structure are provided in the available material.

In July 2016, ElSurveillance was linked to a breach that affected two Muslim dating platforms. One of the platforms had over two million user accounts exposed, with passwords stored in unencrypted plaintext. The second platform leaked approximately 150,000 user profiles and about 790,000 private messages, with passwords protected only by weak MD5 hashing. The two breaches occurred within weeks of each other, and the stolen data later appeared in public databases and breach notification services.

In July 2015, ElSurveillance was associated with a defacement campaign targeting several escort‑related websites. The attackers replaced the homepages with a message criticising societal values, promoting Quranic listening, and denouncing ISIS and governments. Site logs containing visitors’ IP addresses and browser information were exposed, although additional personal data was not released at the time. The defacements included links to mirrored evidence on Zone‑h.org and were described as a coordinated effort to discourage use of the services through public shaming and the threat of further data exposure.

The sources for these incidents include archived news articles and a breach‑notification‑focused website. The 2016 incident was reported by a technology news outlet, while the 2015 activity was covered by a data‑breach news site. No further information about the organisation's size, market reach, or regulatory role is disclosed in the referenced material.

Consequently, any description of ElSurveillance’s core business, scale, or distinguishing attributes would rely on speculation rather than the provided evidence. The available record therefore limits the profile to the confirmed aliases, headquarters location, and the two documented cyber incidents.
