MobiKwik data leak: What we know so far

In what is being touted as one of the biggest data breaches in history, sensitive information of nearly 10 crore users of MobiKwik was reported to have been leaked online. Following a denial from the company, the hacker who claimed to have access to the user data has said that he has voluntarily deleted it.

This is a welcome development, given that the hacker -- who goes by the name ninja_storm -- had earlier offered to sell 8.2TB of compromised user data. The hacker claimed that the data contained “email, phone number, passwords, addresses, other apps installed, phone manufacturer’s names, IP addresses, GPS location, etc”, among other details.

Here’s a look at the timeline of the MobiKwik KYC data breach
