Another Police App, TSCOP, Hacked
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: A week after Telangana police’s HawkEye app was hacked and user data posted online for sale, another police app, TSCOP, was infiltrated by hackers. Sample data of Offender option, police gun licence details and law enforcement details have been uploaded by the hacker. For the police gun licence details, the name of the police station, the unique identification number of the licence, licence holder’s name, date of birth, Aadhar number or voter ID, licence holder’s gender, permanent address, date of licence issue and date of licence expiry data were uploaded online. Sravanthi, a Hawkeye app user, said, “I was shocked to see the data of Telangana police application users for sale.” Despite the initial Hawkeye hack happening a week ago, the police action on the breach looks minimal.
