Big news! Hackers stole the personal information of 30 million passengers
As per reports, data of around three crore travelers registered with the Indian Railways has been hacked and reportedly put on sale on the Dark Web. It has been claimed by the hackers that the Indian Railways data is one of the biggest data ever hacked by anyone.
A source said, “The hacked data has usernames, emails, mobile numbers, gender, full address, and their language preferences. The data is of users who book tickets from the Indian Railway portal.”
The data of Indian Railway is put on sale on a forum being run by cybercriminals and has user data and invoices of the latest month.
This is the second time when data of Indian Railway ticket buyers have been hacked, after a similar case in 2020.
The hacker, who uses the pseudonym ‘Shadohacker‘, has also claimed that he has data of government persons having government email IDs and their cell phone numbers.
As of now, the Indian Railways has not made any official comment on the matter.
Earlier, a China-based hacker had hacked the technical systems of AIIMS, New Delhi. They had, in fact, taken the whole server into their control, but it was later taken back from their possession.
