Data of 4 crore Indian users of Truecaller up for sale on dark web: Report

Cybercriminals have leaked personal data of over four crore Indian users of the Truecaller app on the dark web, according to recent reports.

The leak has been detected by cybersecurity researchers at Cyble Inc., a firm founded by global cybersecurity expert Beenu Arora. Cyble had also reported two major data leaks on the dark web affecting Indian users earlier this month.

“Our researchers have identified a reputable seller, who is selling 47.5 Million Indians Truecaller records for $1000. The data is from 2019,” the Cyble report read.

The data is being sold by the carrier at a relatively low price point according to the firm.

“We were also taken off by surprise with such a low price point (in our opinion),” the report further read.
