Less than a week after Zee5 had its customers’ data leaked, MobiKwik, one of India’s top fintech platforms seems to have the same fate now. A security researcher has shared some images of data claiming to be from MobiKwik’s servers, which has been leaked by a hacker. While the data remains unverified, MobiKwik has straightway denied the allegations.
MobiKwik Data Leak Incident
MobiKwik is one of the well-known names in the Indian payments sector, which has been a part of the financial technology revolution that rose after demonetization in 2016. While it’s lagging behind the top players like GPay, Phonepe, and Paytm, it’s having a significant user base to serve.
Now, the company is being alleged by a security researcher named Rajasekhar Rajaharia, who on Twitter claims that about 11 crores of Indian card data were leaked from MobiKwik’s server! He further states that a hacker had access to this alleged leaking server for over a month, which contained the customer’s sensitive data.
