New Delhi: Last month, one of India’s popular online grocery store, BigBasket, found that its data of over 20 million users had been hacked and were on sale on the dark web for over $40,000.
In October this year, Dr Lal PathLabs, one of India’s biggest clinical lab testing chains, was found to have left the data of millions of its customers exposed on an unprotected storage bucket hosted on Amazon Web Services. Whether the data hackers maliciously accessed, stole and sold the data, is not known.
