Maharashtra Winter Session: Have we developed a ’reporting mechanism’, asks Aaditya Thackeray on data leak
Personal identifiable information of about 815 million Indians has been leaked on the dark web, including names, phone numbers, addresses, Aadhaar, and passport information, according to a report by US-based cybersecurity firm Security.
India has witnessed an uptick in cyber activities, spurred in part by the Israel-Hamas conflict. These attacks, carried out mostly through DDoS operations and website defacement, have targeted a wide range of entities, from national infrastructure to individual political figures’ digital assets
According to Independent cyber security researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia, there might be data of a few lakh people compromised, and no evidence shows that the data of 81.5 crore people leaked.
Reports suggested that the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) database might have been compromised, given the extensive scope and sensitive nature of the information.
