Hi everyone I just want to tell u about an iPhone app which is being sold on the Apple app store for 6.99$. The application uses a stollen database from the interior ministry (masla7t el tjil - el nef3a), it gives the user access to all personal information of the owner of the car (name, address, phone number, ect.) I think that this application must be removed from the app store as soon as possible and someone must contact the interior ministry and tell them about this app and report the application developer ( Double U SAL) Hope we can do something in order to preserve our privacy. Just found a blog post about this topic. ' It's an iPhone, iPod, iPad application that costs 6.99 USD, is listed in the official Apple marketplace, sanctioned and verified by Apple.

Old news is old, these DBs have been on for sale on CDs for years, but who are we to blame? The publishers or the ones who are supposed to protect that data and keep it private, the government, well ofcourse the government!
Unfortunately ours is highly corrupt and don't give a. about us, little alone our privacy! Here's an example, all you need to do is know someone who works at any Ogero branch(even a janitor will work) you can walk in any empty office with a computer and you'll find the number database(no password, no encryption, MDB form, NO NOTHING) ON THE DESKTOP. Insert usb, copy-paste and Ta-Da.
Same applies to car DBs. See how well our privacy is protected guys i honesty dont care anymore, any1 can know my info and i can know his/her. The government doesnt care, what can i accomplish if i did, cant overcome this corrupt place. From the article I posted earlier: 'According to Dr. Toni Issa, Lawyer and President of the IT Committee for the Beirut Bar Association, the release of these databases to a third party (by the Interior Ministry) is against the law.
Furthermore, copying or stealing databases is a direct violation of the Lebanese Penal Code. The only people who can legally solicit this information are the police or judicial authorities. Any kind of usage of this information is strictly illegal.
Moreover, the use of the information violates intellectual property and consumer protection laws.' I think the above statment proves that it is illegal to release this database to the public.
List. Transportation: Engines: Sports: International: Website Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (: 三菱自動車工業株式会社,: Mitsubishi Jidōsha Kōgyō, IPA: ) is a Japanese manufacturer headquartered in, Japan. In 2011, Mitsubishi Motors was the sixth-biggest Japanese automaker and the sixteenth-biggest worldwide by production. From October 2016 onwards, Mitsubishi has been one-third (34%) owned by, and thus a part of the. Besides being part of the Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance, it is also a part of, formerly the biggest industrial group in Japan, through the corporation's majority 66% stake in Mitsubishi Motors, and the company was originally formed in 1970 from the automotive division of.
Was formerly a part of Mitsubishi Motors, but is now separate from Mitsubishi Motors, which builds commercial grade trucks, buses and heavy construction equipment, and is owned by the German automotive corporation (though Mitsubishi continues to own a small stake). Workers at Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd alongside one of the prototype automobiles.
Mitsubishi's automotive origins date back to 1917, when the Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. Introduced the, Japan's first series-production automobile. An entirely hand-built seven-seater based on the Fiat Tipo 3, it proved expensive compared to its American and European mass-produced rivals, and was discontinued in 1921 after only 22 had been built. In 1934, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding was merged with the Mitsubishi Aircraft Co., a company established in 1920 to manufacture aircraft engines and other parts. The unified company was known as (MHI), and was the largest private company in Japan. MHI concentrated on manufacturing, and machinery, but in 1937 developed the, a prototype sedan for military use.
It was the first Japanese-built passenger car with full-time, a technology the company would return to almost fifty years later in its quest for motorsport and sales success. A 1937 on display at the in September 2006.
Post-war era Immediately following the end of the, the company returned to manufacturing vehicles. Bus production resumed, while a small cargo vehicle called the and a called the were also developed.
However, the (Japan's family-controlled industrial conglomerates) were ordered to be dismantled by the in 1950, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was split into three regional companies, each with an involvement in motor vehicle development: West Japan Heavy-Industries, Central Japan Heavy-Industries, and East Japan Heavy-Industries. East Japan Heavy-Industries began importing the, an inexpensive American sedan built by, in (CKD) form in 1951, and continued to bring them to Japan for the remainder of the car's three-year production run. The same year, Central Japan Heavy-Industries concluded a similar contract with (now owned by Kaiser) for CKD-assembled.
This deal proved more durable, with licensed Mitsubishi Jeeps in production until 1998, thirty years after Willys themselves had replaced the model. By the beginning of the 1960s Japan's economy was gearing up; wages were rising and the idea of family motoring was taking off.
Central Japan Heavy-Industries, now known as Shin Mitsubishi Heavy-Industries, had already re-established an automotive department in its headquarters in 1953. Now it was ready to introduce the, a mass-market sedan, to meet the new demand from consumers. It followed this in 1962 with the and the Colt 1000, the first of its line of family cars, in 1963.
![Cars Cars](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Dr7TY2LZlec/TNXxDNb6T3I/AAAAAAAABrw/86KUSboyEMI/s320/Lebanon+Cars+Directory+IPA+Version+1.0.1.jpg)
In 1964, Mitsubishi introduced its largest passenger sedan, the as a luxury car primarily for the Japanese market, and was used by senior executives as a company car. West Japan Heavy-Industries (now renamed Mitsubishi Shipbuilding & Engineering) and East Japan Heavy-Industries (now Mitsubishi Nihon Heavy-Industries) had also expanded their automotive departments in the 1950s, and the three were re-integrated as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 1964. Within three years its output was over 75,000 vehicles annually.
Following the successful introduction of the first in 1969 and similar growth with its commercial vehicle division, it was decided that the company should create a single operation to focus on the automotive industry. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) was formed on April 22, 1970 as a wholly owned subsidiary of MHI under the leadership of Tomio Kubo, a successful engineer from the aircraft division. The logo of three red diamonds, shared with over forty other companies within the keiretsu, predates Mitsubishi Motors itself by almost a century. It was chosen by, the founder of, as it was suggestive of the emblem of the Tosa Clan who first employed him, and because his own family crest was three stacked atop each other. The name Mitsubishi ( ) consists of two parts: ' mitsu' meaning 'three' and ' hishi' (which becomes ' bishi' under ) meaning ' (also called 'water chestnut'), and hence 'rhombus', which is reflected in the company's. Chrysler connection 1970s Part of Mr.
Kubo's expansion strategy was to increase exports by forging alliances with well-established foreign companies. Therefore, in 1971 MHI sold U.S. Automotive giant a 15 percent share in the new company. Thanks to this deal, Chrysler began selling the Galant in the United States as the (which was the first rebadged Mitsubishi product sold by Chrysler), pushing MMC's annual production beyond 250,000 vehicles. In 1977, the Galant was sold as the in Australia. A 1973, the basis for the company's first deal with Chrysler. By 1977, a network of 'Colt'-branded distribution and sales dealerships had been established across Europe, as Mitsubishi sought to begin selling vehicles directly.
Annual production had by now grown from 500,000 vehicles in 1973 to 965,000 in 1978, when Chrysler began selling the Galant as the and the. However, this expansion was beginning to cause friction; Chrysler saw their overseas markets for as being directly encroached by their Japanese partners, while MMC felt the Americans were demanding too much say in their corporate decisions. 1980s Mitsubishi finally achieved annual production of one million cars in 1980, but by this time its ally was not so healthy; As part of its battle to avoid, Chrysler was forced to sell its Australian manufacturing division to MMC that year. The new Japanese owners renamed it (MMAL). In 1982, the Mitsubishi brand was introduced to the American market for the first time.
The, and the and, were initially sold through seventy dealers in 22 states, with an allocation of 30,000 vehicles between them. This, restricted by mutual agreement between the two countries' governments, had to be included among the 120,000 cars earmarked for Chrysler. Toward the end of the 1980s, as MMC initiated a major push to increase its U.S. Presence, it aired its first national television advertising campaign, and made plans to increase its dealer network to 340 dealers. In 1986 Mitsubishi reached an agreement with to assemble their kei van and truck there, making Mitsubishi the third Japanese manufacturer (after and ) to begin assembly in China.
Before receiving government approval for this project, Mitsubishi had to express contrition over 'defective' Mitsubishi trucks imported to China in 1984 and 1985. By 1989, Mitsubishi's worldwide production, including its overseas affiliates, had reached 1.5 million units. Diamond-Star Motors. Mitsubishi dealer in Mitsubishi Motors maintained two retail sales channels that sold specific models, called 'Car Plaza' and 'Galant Shop'.
Certain models were exclusive to either channel, while some models were available at both channels, as required by local Japanese market conditions. More recently, due to cancellation of larger sedans, the sales channels have been combined into one franchise that sell all models, including and commercial delivery vehicles. Historical troubles Asian economic downturn The benefits Mitsubishi had seen because of its strong presence in south-east Asia reversed themselves as a result of the which began in 1991 with the advent of the collapse of the, referred to in Japan as the beginning of the and continued to 1997. The collapse was partly the result of the agreement in 1985, which sought to equalize the United States dollar with the Japanese and the German. In September of that year the company closed its Thai factory in response to a crash in the country's currency and plummeting consumer demand. The large truck plant, which had produced 8,700 trucks in 1996, was shut down indefinitely. In addition, Mitsubishi had little support from sales in Japan, which slowed considerably throughout 1997 and were affected by that country's own economic uncertainty into 1998.
Other Japanese automakers, such as and, bolstered their own slipping domestic sales with success in the U.S. However, with a comparatively small percentage of the American market, the impact of the turmoil in the had a greater effect on Mitsubishi, and the company's 1997 losses were the worst in its history. In addition, it lost both its rank as the third largest automaker in Japan to, and market share overseas. Its stock price fell precipitously, prompting the company to cancel its year-end dividend payment. In November 1997, Mitsubishi hired to replace as company president.
Kawasoe unveiled an aggressive restructuring program that aimed to cut costs by ¥350 billion in three years, reduce personnel by 1,400, and return the company to profitability by 1998. But while the program had some initial success, the company's sales were still stagnant as the Asian economy continued to sputter. In 1999, Mitsubishi was forced once again to skip dividend payments. Its interest-bearing debt totalled ¥1.7 trillion. Vehicle defect cover-up In what was referred to as 'one of the largest corporate scandals in Japanese history', Mitsubishi was twice forced to admit to systematically covering up defect problems in its vehicles.
Four defects were first publicised in 2000, but in 2004 it confessed to 26 more going back as far as 1977, including failing brakes, fuel leaks and malfunctioning clutches. The effect on the company was catastrophic, forcing it to recall 163,707 cars (156,433 in Japan and 7,274 overseas) for free repair. Further recalls by brought the total number of vehicles requiring repair to almost one million. The affair led to the resignation and subsequent arrest of president Kawasoe, along with 23 other employees who were also implicated.
Three of them have since been acquitted, with the judge stating that there was no official request from the Transport Ministry ordering them to submit a defect report. 0–0–0 In an effort to boost sales in the U.S. In the early 2000s, Mitsubishi began offering a '0–0–0' finance offer—0% down, 0% interest, and $0 monthly payments (all repayments deferred for 12 months). Initially, sales leapt, but at the end of the year's 'grace period' numerous credit-risky buyers defaulted, leaving Mitsubishi with used vehicles for which they had received no money and which were now worth less than they cost to manufacture. The company's American credit operation, MMCA, was eventually forced to make a US$454 million provision against its 2003 accounts as a result of these losses. As a result, sales plummeted to 243,000 in 2003, 139,000 in 2004, 124,000 in 2005, and 119,000 in 2006. End of Australian production In October 2005, introduced the to the Australian market as the replacement for its long-running, and the sole vehicle being built at its Australian assembly plant at.
Despite an investment of 600 million developing the car, initial sales projections proved optimistic; after only six months Mitsubishi scaled back production from 90/day, and reduced the working week from five days to four. It remained an ongoing concern in the Australian auto industry as to whether this would be sufficient to restore the plant to profitability and ensure its long-term survival. The drop in local sales could not be mitigated by exports outside of the Australian and New Zealand market. On 5 February 2008, Mitsubishi Motors Australia announced it would be closing down its Adelaide assembly plant by the end of March. Between 700 and 1,000 direct jobs would be lost and up to 2,000 jobs will be lost in industries supporting Mitsubishi's local manufacturing operations. End of European production With operating losses ¥22 billion ($287 million) in Europe for the fiscal year to March due to stagnant sales in a continent beset by uncertainty of a raging debt crisis, finally in February 2012 Mitsubishi have decided to withdraw production in Europe by the end of 2012.
On 1 October, it was announced that the Dutch industrial conglomerate had taken over from Mitsubishi, retaining all 1,500 employees. End of North American production. Main article: In 1988, Mitsubishi opened a production facility in the United States in. The facility was known as Diamond-Star Motors and was initially a joint venture with, however Chrysler sold its stake in the plant to Mitsubishi in 1993. After 1995 the facility was known as Mitsubishi Motors Manufacturing America (MMMA). At its peak in 2000, the facility produced over 222,000 vehicles per year, however following the decline of Mitsubishi in North America, the plant operated well below capacity for years.
Finally, in July 2015, Mitsubishi announced that it would close the plant by November, but would continue to sell automobiles in North America. In 2014, the plant had produced just 69,000 vehicles, roughly one quarter of its capacity. Production at the plant ended on 30 November 2015, and most of the employees were laid off. The plant continued to operate with a minimal staff to produce replacement parts until May 2016, after which it closed permanently. Fuel mileage scandal In early 2016, Mitsubishi partner Nissan found discrepancies between Mitsubishi information and actual fuel consumption while working in new for both companies, the eK Wagon, eK Space, Nissan Dayz and Nissan Dayz Roox. Mitsubishi manufactures micro cars for Nissan, which has never produced that class of vehicle itself.
Mitsubishi admitted that they had been giving wrong information on fuel consumption from 2002 onwards, using inaccurate test methods. Later, the company said it used fuel economy testing methods that did not comply with Japanese regulations for 25 years, much longer than previously known. Mitsubishi management said they did not know about the issue and that the wrong information came from the micro car development department. They ordered an investigation led by investigators not affiliated with the company. The resultant scandal culminated in Nissan acquiring a controlling interest in MMC in May 2016. Nissan agreed to invest 237.4 billion yen ($2.2 billion US) in exchange for receiving a 34% ownership stake in Mitsubishi Motors.
Due to dilution of existing shares, other Mitsubishi group companies (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Corp., and Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ) will see their combined holdings in Mitsubishi Motors fall to about 20% from 34% currently. Mitsubishi Motors North America stated that vehicles sold from 2013 in the United States featured accurate fuel economy information and were thereby not affected by the scandal. In May 2016, Mitsubishi Motors announced Tetsuro Aikawa to resign as the president of the company in effect on June. Both Mitsubishi Motors and Aikawa denied any top management involvement in the mileage scandal. The company said much of the mileage-testing work was assigned to a subsidiary and there was a lack of scrutiny of such work. Revitalization plan. The at the in 2005.
After a starvation of new investment caused by lack of cashflow, the company introduced the award-winning in 2006, its first new model in 29 months, while a revised has been introduced worldwide to compete in the popular market niche. The next generation of its and was launched in 2007 and 2008. Slow selling vehicles were eliminated from the U.S. Market, purchase projections for the have been scaled back, and 10,000 jobs have been shed to cut costs with 3,400 workers at its Australian plant and other loss-making operations still under threat. Meanwhile, in an effort to increase production at its U.S.
Facility, new export markets for the Eclipse and are being explored in, the Middle East, and Russia, where the company's bestselling dealership is located. Mitsubishi has also been active in production of cars for, and announced a similar partnership with in July 2005 to manufacture an SUV on their behalf. Mitsubishi reported its first profitable quarter in four years in the third quarter of 2006, and returned to profitability by the end of the 2006 financial year, and sustained profitability and global sales of 1,524,000 through 2007 and later. In January 2011, the company announced its next mid-term business plan to introduce eight hybrid and battery-powered models by 2015. It aimed to sell its first two plug-in hybrids by fiscal 2012. In May 2016 Nissan announced a controlling purchase of Mitsubishi Motors for an estimated 2 billion U.S.
Nissan stated that there are no major changes planned for Mitsubishi Motors and sharing of technologies and platforms can be expected between the two automobile manufactures. Management In 2014 Tetsuro Aikawa was appointed as the president of the company, becoming the first in more than a decade to have spent an entire career at the company. The career of Aikawa had been mainly in product development although he was involved in manufacturing and Japan domestic sales lately. Osamu Masuko, the previous president, joined the company from Mitsubishi Corp. MMC endured eight presidents between 1989 and 2004. Electric vehicles. Main page: Mitsubishi Motors started selling its, the with a battery pack tucked under its floor, to retail customers in the summer 2009, a year ahead of schedule.
The automaker had initially planned to start leasing the minicar-based vehicle to businesses and municipalities in the summer 2009 and to wait until 2010 for the retail launch. It has also announced its plans to offer five other e-drive vehicles. Mitsubishi Motors aims to cut the price of its electric vehicles to 2 million yen ($21,890) by fiscal 2012—down 30 percent. Motorsport Mitsubishi has almost half a century of international motorsport experience, predating even the incorporation of MMC. Beginning with street races in the early 1960s, the company found itself gravitating towards the challenge of off-road racing. It dominated endurance rallies in the 1970s, the from the '80s, and the and classes of the through the 1990s.

Circuit racing Mitsubishi's motorsport debut was in in 1962, when it entered its in the in an effort to promote sales of its first passenger car. In an auspicious debut, the diminutive rear-engined sedan swept the top four places in the 'Under 750 cc' category, with Kazuo Togawa taking class honours. The company returned the following year with their new and again swept the podium with a 1–2–3 in the 'Under 600 cc' class. In its final year of competition with touring cars in 1966, Mitsubishi scored a podium clean sweep in the '750–1000 cc' class of the 1964 Japanese Grand Prix with the, their first front-engined competition vehicle. The company began concentrating on the Japanese GP's emerging open-wheel 'formula car' categories from 1966, winning the 'Exhibition' class.
