Domino's India data hacked? Phone numbers of 18 crore orders leaked on dark web

After Air India, now pizza delivery chain Domino's India has become a victim of a significant data leak. According to a report in Zee News, more than 18 crore orders' data has been put up on the dark web for sale as a searchable database, allowing hackers to track and trace users from their verified locations.

Reports state that Domino's India, last month, had a massive data breach in which sensitive information such as phone numbers, names, and payment information including credit cards was compromised.

The CTO of Hudson Rock, a cybersecurity firm, Alon Gal, had confirmed the same and had said that the data in question was sold for Rs 4.5 crore (10 Bitcoin).

Speaking about this, Rajshekhar Rajaharia, an independent cybersecurity researcher tweeted, "Data of 18 Crore orders of Domino's India has become public. Hacker created a search engine on Dark Web. If you have ever ordered Domino's India online, your data might be leaked. Data include Name, Email, Mobile, GPS Location, etc."

Rajaharia also revealed that the worst part of this alleged breach is that people are using this data to spy on people as anyone with another person's mobile number can also check for their past locations with date and time. This is a real threat to security.

In other news, it was revealed on May 21 India's national carrier Air India has suffered a major cyberattack in which the personal details of passengers including credit card info and passport details were stolen. The breach involved the data between August 2011 and February 2021.
