Weeks after few Indian companies experiencing data breaches, fake news about the CoWIN portal being hacked is circulating among the citizens.
This comes after few threat intelligence services sharing a dark web post – regarding an unknown marketplace selling the COVID-19 vaccination database of India.
The seller claims the database has sensitive data of about 150 million Indians, leaking their Name, Mobile Number, Aadhaar ID, GPS (PinPoint) Location, State, etc. It was offered for $800 but soon turned out to be fake.
Luring Buyers Without Samples!
Remembering an old saying, the offer is too good to be true. Soon after the images of that post being shared on Twitter, many started following the thread and some asked the URL for accessing it.
