Paytm Mall issues legal notice to US company, Cyble, over its data breach report

MUMBAI: Paytm Mall has sent a legal notice threatening to initiate defamation proceedings against cybersecurity startup Cyble Inc for a report that the US-based firm published last month about an alleged cybersecurity breach of its database.

The ‘seize and desist’ notice gives Cyble seven days to make public clarifications regarding the report, which Paytm claims is false.

Lack of compliance will result in criminal and civil suits, according the document issued on September 4, of which ET has seen a copy.
