Hello,

I was just browsing casually when something really surprising caught my attention.

From multiple sources, it seems that Mobikwik has allegedly suffered the biggest data breach ever flushed flushed

The data breach leaks information like :-

1. Mobikwik Account Phone Numbers
2. Your full name
3. Your KYC documents like PAN & Aadhaar
4. E-mail addresses
5. Hashed passwords
6.Debit/Credit Card details
7.Your GPS location
8. Phone model details including IMEI
9. Other apps in your system.

Looks like Mobikwik hasn’t come up with any official clarification regarding this. If true this will be the biggest data breach ever and will be catastrophic confused

Multiple sources have this news like:-

1.

2. https://www.databreaches.net/in-threat-actor-of...

3. https://mobile.twitter.com/fs0c131y/status/1376...

Please note that this is unverified as Mobikwik has not issued any official clarification and also this information is available on other public websites where it was originally posted and I also hope it’s not true however it certainly raises a question on Indian companies and if at all they are trying to safeguard our data.

A data protection law is must for India these days grin

True but we should start demanding Data Protection Laws now. So many controversial laws getting passed however this law is something we need these days.

Mobikwik has a lot of caps and restrictions on supercash usage unless we aren’t full KYC so definitely they have a lot of full KYC customers wink

Guys, maybe this news is true.. but it’s as foolish to check your details in *any provided link by putting your MK credentials. You can be hacked for real! Remember..

MobiXicK’s official statement

A media-crazed so-called security researcher has repeatedly over the last week presented concocted files wasting precious time of our organization while desperately trying to grab media attention.We thoroughly investigated his allegations and did not find any security lapses.
Our user and company data is completely safe and secure.
The various sample text files that he has been showcasing prove nothing. Anyone can create such text files to falsely harass any company.
Finally, our legal team will be pursuing strict action against this so-called researcher who is trying to malign our brand reputation for ulterior motives.

Has anyone tried in that link with number not linked with Mobikwik?
It doesn’t show any data? or its show some data related to that number?
Whats the guarantee that all datas are only taken from MK DB?
Hackers can get the data from several sites and they can accuse whoever they want.

If someone has the link, DM. I can check further with numbers which are not really have MK account and MK users.

WTF flushed RBI’s new rule of not allowing these apps to store personal data should be implemented ASAP !!
I have already memorised my personal details.
After this rule gets implemented, we just need to enter our details every time before doing any txns.

That’s unbelievable

This data is on sale since months and they said will take legal action instead of investigating?!?!?!?

That’s some next level anti-consumer policies

The amount asked by the hacker is 1.5 BTC, not even Rs 1 crore. This shameless mobikwik itself can afford such a nominal amount and strike a deal with the hacker, and save some of their embarrassment. And come clean first of all, instead of denying, when everyone else can see the breach with their own eyes.

this crypto shit is doing more harm than good 😤. and never trust a single word of hackers/fraudsters.
even if mobi***k gives BTC, hacker can still sell that data to multiple parties in black/dark market. (may be its already sold) confused

Entire credit goes to Mandatory KYC compliance for E-wallets by Idiots in order to promote UPI payments.
Only rules & regulations.. No Implementation

" The KYC guidelines are designed to strengthen safety and security of transactions and customer protection, RBI Deputy Governor BP Kanungo said "

Isn’t it the responsibility of RBI to make sure there aren’t any security loopholes w.r.t any wallet on a regular basis? Cancel the license if any vulnerability is found?
Obviously.. they might take some action now, but what’s the use?

Now hackers know everything about you to gain access to multiple websites (via KYC documents, phone numbers & email addresses)
CCs, DCs can be replaced easily but there’s a lot at stake now (Even replacing mobile number isn’t that simple)
Sadly, everyone with just phone number access can know a lot of details about you ( Including GPS location :sad: )
