Data of 750 million telecom users in India being sold on dark web, cyber experts claim
In a startling revelation, cybersecurity firm CloudSEK has unveiled a massive security breach exposing personal information of an astonishing 750 million people in India. The breach was made public on January 23, 2024, when CloudSEK's AI digital risk platform, XVigil, detected a post by CyboDevil on an underground forum advertising the Indian Mobile Network Consumer Database. The threat actors, members of the CYBOCREW group, have claimed previous access to real-time Indian phone number KYC details and have been observed selling API access to the Indian vehicle database. As a precaution, individuals and organisations are advised to implement advanced threat detection systems, ensure compliance with data protection regulations, and conduct awareness programs to educate users about potential scams and phishing attempts.
