A hacker forum user was discovered to be selling 30 million Indian Railway user records. The identity of this user, who went by the alias “shadowhacker” is unknown.

The hacker stated that the data includes various personal details such as name, email, phone number, and gender, as well as additional information. The user also mentioned that there are multiple government email addresses present in the data.

Security researchers are yet to verify whether the data is authentic and how it was accessed. A request for comment sent to the Indian Railways remains unanswered. Researchers at Cyble told The Cyber Express that they are in touch with the Indian Railway. cyber security news

Yeah, I had to do a double take on this one too. But since we have so many members here who do live in India and might have been affected, this is definitely worth leaving up.
