An American cybersecurity and intelligence agency discovered a post on Breach Forums by a 'threat actor' known as 'pwn001,' a forum self-described as the 'premier Databreach discussion and leaks forum.' The post provided access to records of a whopping 81 point 5 crore Indians. To put this in perspective, that's approximately 10 times the total population of countries like Iran, Turkey, and Germany, ranking 17th, 18th, and 19th most populous in the world. On the other hand, India, with its 1 point 43 billion people, stands as the most populous nation on Earth. Talking about the information compromised, pwn001' advertised Aadhaar and passport information, along with names, phone numbers, and addresses. The hacker claims this data was extracted from the Covid-19 test details of Indian citizens registered with the Indian Council of Medical Research. As proof of their claims, 'pwn001' shared spreadsheets with large leak samples, containing fragments of Aadhaar data, which, upon analysis, were confirmed to be valid Aadhaar card IDs.
