Over 100,000 scanned ID copies of Indians put on dark net for sale: Cyble

Scanned copies of more than 1 lakh Indian nationals have reportedly been leaked and put on dark web for sale, the cyber intelligence firm cyble said on Wednesday.

The leaked information includes details like IDs, including Aadhaar, PAN card and passport.

According to a report by cyber intelligence firm Cyble, the leaked data seems to have originated from a third party and not from the government system.

“We came across a non-reputed actor who is currently selling over 1 lakh Indian National IDs on the dark net. With such a low reputation, ideally, we would have skipped this; however, the samples shared by the actor intrigued our interest — and also the volume. The actor is alleged to have access to over 1 lakh IDs from different places in India,” Cyble said.
