<ul><li><keyword id="6672551" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="wazirx" source="Orion">WazirX</keyword> has suffered a massive <keyword id="19904114" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="security-breach" source="keywords">security breach</keyword>, with hackers stealing cryptocurrency from the platform.</li><li>Over $230 million in cryptos was stolen from the company’s wallets.</li><li>The company has suspended withdrawals in rupees and cryptos.</li></ul> WazirX, India’s largest cryptocurrency exchange on Thursday reported a massive security breach on its platform, which has resulted in the theft of over $230 million in cryptocurrency. WazirX took to social media platform X to confirm the security breach and informed users that customer withdrawals from the exchange have been temporarily paused. “A cyber-attack occurred in one of our multisig wallets involving a loss of funds exceeding $230 million. Despite us taking all necessary steps to protect the customer assets, the cyber attackers appear to have possibly breached such security features, and the theft occurred,” WazirX said in a post on X. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111783199" title="Budget 2024 Expectations: FAME scheme, aid for vehicle scrapping and other expectations of the auto industry" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> The breach reportedly occurred in one of the exchange's multisig wallets, which require multiple private keys to unlock and withdraw funds. The incident was linked to a discrepancy between the data displayed on Liminal's digital asset custody and wallet infrastructure and the actual contents of the transaction. Liminal has been providing services to WazirX since February 2023. “Our preliminary investigations show that one of the self-custody multi-sig smart contract wallets created outside of the Liminal ecosystem has been compromised. We can confirm that Liminal’s platform is not breached and Liminal’s infrastructure, wallets and assets continue to remain safe,” Liminal Custody said in a statement to Business Insider India. “It is also pertinent to note that all WazirX wallets created on the Liminal platform continue to remain secure and protected. Meanwhile, all the malicious transactions to the attacker’s addresses have occurred from outside of the Liminal platform,” Liminal added. WazirX has suspended all withdrawals, in both rupees and crypto on its platform. “To ensure the safety of your assets, INR and crypto withdrawals will be temporarily paused. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We'll keep you posted with further updates,” the company added. “We have identified 2 more exploited smart contracts. Our team is still investigating the incident. For the time being we have opened up a secluded website to revoke all approvals. Your funds are at risk until you revoke,” WazirX added. This security breach comes at a challenging time for WazirX, as the exchange has seen its trading volume plummet by 90% in 2023 compared to the previous year. The decline can be attributed to the Indian government's introduction of a 30% tax on virtual currencies and a 1% deduction for every crypto transaction in 2022. Additionally, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has been investigating several cases under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA) and the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA) related to cryptocurrencies.

We now collectively believe it's fabricated,” Troy Hunt said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/troyhunt/status/1552808334759043073">tweet</a>. Paytm, one of the largest wallet and payment services platforms, reportedly suffered a massive data breach in 2020. While the company has not accepted this, it had reportedly received a ransom demand after the data breach. Firefox Monitor, a security tracker by Mozilla that informs users if their mobile number or email has been compromised in a data breach, has today confirmed that Paytm suffered a data breach in 2020 and that data of over 3.4 million users has been discovered online. Update - Paytm has clarified the leak. “The data of our users is completely safe &amp; claims related to data leak in the year 2020 are completely false and unsubstantiated. A fake dump uploaded on the platform haveibeenpwned.com appears to wrongly alert of a data breach on Firefox browser. We are getting in touch with Firefox and the platform to resolve the matter," a Paytm spokesperson said in a statement to Business Insider India. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What information was compromised in the data breach?" comment="subhead" text="What information was compromised in the data breach?">What information was compromised in the data breach?</cmsannotation> According to a <a href="https://monitor.firefox.com/breach-details/Paytm">report</a> by Firefox Monitor, the data breach compromised information such as the user’s phone number, email address, purchase history, gender, date of birth, location and income levels.

Paytm Mall breach data is fabricated, says Have I been Pwned founder Troy Hunt

Chinese smartphone maker <keyword id="2210217" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="oneplus">OnePlus</keyword> has reportedly exposed hundreds of customer email addresses while sending out a mass mailer for a research study to a select number of users. Instead of putting email IDs of customers in the "BCC" field, the company ended up copy-pasting hundreds of email addresses in the "To" field. This resulted in all recipients of the research email receiving hundreds of customer email addresses, Android Police reported on Friday. The exact number of users affected in this goof-up is currently unknown but one among the listed told Android Police that the number is in "hundreds". OnePlus was yet to comment on the development. In November last year, the company revealed a major data breach in which customer's information such as name, contact number, email, and shipping address was exposed. OnePlus said hackers gained access to past customer orders. Exposed information included details like customer names, contact numbers, emails, and shipping addresses, but not passwords or financial details. Before that, OnePlus reported its first security breach in which credit card information of nearly 40,000 customers was exposed through the company's official website. OnePlus manufactures premium devices like 8 and 8 Pro and has entered into the mid-price segment with the ‘Nord' brand in India and Europe.

OnePlus mishap exposes hundreds of customer emails

<ul><li>An 'unauthorised party' was able to access OnePlus customers' order information and might have stolen users' names, shipping addresses, contact numbers and email IDs.</li><li>If you are one of the affected users, OnePlus has sent an email to registered ID to inform you of the breach.</li><li>The company has not disclosed how many users were affected but claims that the most that can happen is a little more spam in your inbox.</li></ul>Two years, two data breaches for OnePlus — but this time around it isn't that serious, <a href="https://www.oneplus.com/uk/support/faq22119102?awc=10855_1574672963_f0477d6fa82d76221305528879af4fb4&amp;utm_source=aw&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=Sub+Networks&amp;utm_term=78888&amp;utm_content=0">according</a> to the company. The most that can happen is that you'll get extra spam in your inbox, if you're one of the affected users. In case you were one of the victims, the company will be notifying you by email. Last time around, in January 2018, the credit card information of around 40,000 customers was stolen. OnePlus has not disclosed who many customers were affected this time but claims that all payment information, passwords and accounts are safe — only names, contact numbers, email IDs and shipping addresses 'may have been exposed'. This means the hacker only has the power to send phishing emails and spam your way. They don't have enough information to hack into your accounts or access any of your financial services. But, it does put you at risk. Here's how phishing emails work <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/even-this-expert-on-hackers-got-tricked-into-clicking-a-scam-email/articleshow/53625920.cms">Phishing</a> is like carrying out a con — only it's online.

The email usually asks the recipient to click on a link or provide sensitive information. So, as a general rule, never provide any sensitive information by clicking on third party links. Not just over emails, but even forwarding links in messages or from secondary websites. And, whenever you are entering any sensitive information online, always double-check the URL. Better yet, use your own link. Moreover, activate a plug-in or web tool that can <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/think-you-can-spot-a-hackers-phishing-email-take-googles-quiz-and-find-out/articleshow/67648969.cms">flag off</a> malicious links and warn you before you click on anything risky. How is OnePlus going to fix this? "We took immediate steps to stop the intruder and reinforce security, making sure there are no similar vulnerabilities," said OnePlus in a <a href="https://www.oneplus.com/uk/support/faq22119102?awc=10855_1574672963_f0477d6fa82d76221305528879af4fb4&amp;utm_source=aw&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=Sub+Networks&amp;utm_term=78888&amp;utm_content=0">statement</a>. According to the company, it will be partnering with a 'world-renowned' security platform — ye to be disclosed — next month. And, in collaboration, they will launch an official bug bounty program by the end of December. Even though the company revealed the data breach on their official company website, they did not report it to CERT-IN — India's nodal agency for cybersecurity — as per the IT Act. Business Insider has reached out to OnePlus for more information and awaiting their response.

One Plus has not disclosed how many users were affected by data breaches

Normally, access to the internet is considered a boon. But it’s not without its costs. Data is becoming more valuable by the day and for someone looking to make money in nefarious ways. Hacking is the new trend in town. Information theft is the most expensive and fastest-rising consequence of cybercrime. Personal and sensitive data of millions of people is compromised and in exchange for a quick buck. Cybercriminals are constantly adapting and finding new ways to compromise online security, quicker than security firms can build solutions to defend against them. But not every data breach is a result of hackers. More often than not, ‘loopholes’ and unprotected servers give bad actors access without even having to break-in. And, it’s only becoming more common. Here are some of the biggest data breaches of 2019 that affected users in India:

New Delhi, After hacking masked credit and debit card data of crores of Juspay users, the same hacker possibly known as '<keyword id="9206309" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="shinyhunters">ShinyHunters</keyword>' is now selling databases belonging to three more Indian companies on <keyword id="1929208" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="dark-web">Dark Web</keyword>, independent cyber security researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia claimed on Wednesday. According to Rajaharia who first broke the JusPay hacking, the three Indian companies are e-marketplace <keyword id="2901238" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Clickindia">ClickIndia</keyword>, <keyword id="2461546" type="DOMAIN" weightage="20" keywordseo="FinTech">fintech</keyword> startup for small business owners ChqBook and wedding planning website WedMeGood. "Nearly 80 lakh users of ClickIndia (name, email, mobile and other personal details), 10 lakh users of ChqBook (name, email, mobile, full address and other personal details) and 13 lakh users of WedMeGood (name, email, hashed password, other sensitive personal information)," Rajaharia told. Like JusPay, these three companies have also not allegedly told the users about the data breach, claimed the security researcher. The names of the three Indian companies were first reported by BleepingComputer website, saying that a "data breach broker is selling the allegedly stolen user records for 26 companies on a hacker forum". ChqBook denied the attack while the other two companies were yet to react to the report. According to <keyword id="10553252" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="sonit-jain">Sonit Jain</keyword>, CEO of <keyword id="9727813" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="gajshield-infotech">GajShield Infotech</keyword>, such incidents, once confirmed irrespective of data sensitivity, leaves a negative impression over the digital payment platforms. "Simple data like email ID and phone number which may not look sensitive can turn out to be lethal means of financial fraud at personal level, if fallen in wrong hands," Jain told. Bengaluru-based digital payments gateway JusPay said in an earlier statement that the company verified that their Secure Data Store, which hosts the confidential card numbers, was not accessed or compromised. "Thus, all our customers were secure from any kind of risk. Our priority was to inform the merchants and as a measure of abundant precaution, they were issued fresh API keys though it was later verified that even the API keys in use were safe," the company said. According to Rajaharia, the hacker is the same who leaked <keyword id="964794" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="BigBasket">BigBasket</keyword> data, previously reported by the cybersecurity firm Cyble. In November last year, one of India's popular online grocery stores BigBasket, found that its data of over 20 million users had been hacked and were on sale on the dark web for over $40,000. "Now, the same hacker group is asking about $10,000 in Bitcoin for the BigBasket database and is also selling the three companies' databases," Rajaharia said. "There is a strong connection between all these recent data leaks, including BigBasket," he added. US-based third-party cyber intelligence firm Cyble claimed in its official blog that though the alleged breach occurred on October 14, it detected it on October 30, validated it on October 31 and informed BigBasket on November 1. The user database was estimated to be about 20 million, with names, email ids, password hashes, pin, contact numbers, addresses, date of birth, location and IP addresses of login. JusPay on Tuesday said that about 3.5 crore records with masked card data and card fingerprint were compromised by the hacker and the claim of 10 crore cardholders' data being affected is "incorrect".

The government had <a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/technology/tech-news-technology/googles-street-view-turned-down-by-india-2843618/">cited</a> security concerns raised by Indian agencies as the reason for banning Google Street View. Street View is currently live in over 100 countries already. Google has been able to launch Street View in India thanks to the new geospatial policy that was announced last year. It allows local companies to collect data and license it to foreign companies. For this, Google has partnered with Genesys International and Tech Mahindra, allowing it to bring Street View to India. The two companies have together covered over 1,50,000 km across the country. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Where is Google Street View available in India?" comment="subhead" text="Where is Google Street View available in India?">Where is Google Street View available in India?</cmsannotation> At present, Google Street View is limited to 10 cities.

Interestingly, the announcement comes at a time when homegrown MapmyIndia announced MappIs RealView, its own 360-degree panoramic street view. While Google has covered 1,50,000 km across India, MapmyIndia has covered 1,00,000 km.
