Hackers have claimed that the backing data of 99 million Indian customers of the online digital payment application MobiQuick has been leaked. The data released by the hackers includes customers' mobile numbers, credit card numbers, bank account numbers by email. However, MobiQuick has denied the hackers' claim by denying any breach in its data.
The data leak was revealed by cybersecurity analyst Rajasekhara Rajaria. He has also written to the Reserve Bank of India, Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, PCI Standards and Payment Technology Companies in this regard.
Indeed, a hacker group called Jordan Haven has sent an email link to the database to the Indian News Agency. It also writes that they have no intention of using this data more than taking money from the company and they are removing it from their side. Jordanhaven also shared banking data of MobiQuick founder Bipinpreet Singh and CEO Upsana Taku. He has also shared many uploaded photos along with documents like MobiQuick's QR code and Aadhaar and PAN card taken under 'Know Your Customer'.
MobiQuick, however, denied the claim. A company spokesperson said that being an organized unit, they take data security very seriously and fully comply with data protection standards. The spokesperson said the company implements extremely strict compliance measures every quarter, including annual security audits and testing of network attacks under its PCI-DSS and ISO certifications.
The company will conduct forensic data security audits
A MobiQuick spokesman said the company began an investigation with external security experts as soon as the data leak claim was reported and there was no break in the data. He said the company was working closely with the concerned authorities on the issue and would conduct a third party forensic data security audit considering the seriousness of the allegations. Currently, the company wants to tell its customers that all their accounts and details are completely secure.
Change your password immediately
According to cyber expert Rajharia, everyone should change their bank account and credit card passwords immediately so that their money can be protected. Calling it a big scam, he also appealed to government agencies to investigate.
It claims
8.2 terabytes of data leaked
1.5 bitcoins demanded hacker data exchange
Rs 61.14 lakh, this price in Indian currency
Although the hackers' claim is being denied by MobiQuick, it is being seen as a major setback for the payment company, which raised 72 72 million from the stock exchange last month.
Change your password immediately
According to cyber expert Rajharia, everyone should change their bank account and credit card passwords immediately so that their money can be protected. Calling it a big scam, he also appealed to government agencies to investigate. It may be mentioned that in December last year, Rajahariya gave information about the personal information of about 7 million Indians that will be uploaded for sale on the Dark Web.
