MobiKwik just lost 8.2TB of data

The leaked data includes sensitive personal information such as:

customer names,
hashed passwords,
email addresses,
residential addresses,
GPS locations,
list of installed apps,
partially-masked credit card numbers,
connected bank accounts and associated account numbers,
and even know your customer (KYC) documents of 3.5 million users.

Even worse, the leak also shows that MobiKwik does not delete the card information from its servers even after a user has removed them, in what’s likely a breach of government regulations.

Though seeing how easy it is to scam people here, it doesn't seems big

@mur2501 even considering that, its a big leak.

also its mostly the companies own fault because they knew about the security concerns, but downplayed it hard

@absturztaube
Mobikwik isn't the only one like this, all Indian IT companies share this trait :ablobblewobble:
