Rotary India members receive message offering data of other members, hacking plaint filed

Some miscreants hacked into the website of Rotary India club and sent messages to its members saying they are in possession of their personal data and will sell them for Rs 20,000.

The private software company, which is in charge of protecting data, approached the police with a written complaint this month, following which an FIR was registered on August 12 with the Kasarwadavli police in Thane.

The complainant told the police that his company has been providing data protection service to Rotary India since 2014 and several important people in the country are members of this club.
