In a serious data breach, personally identifiable information of 815 million Indians has recently been up on the dark web for sale, according to a report by US-based cybersecurity firm Resecurity. Details such as Aadhaar and passport information along with names, phone numbers and addresses are available for sale online, it has said. Media reports suggested that the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) database might have been compromised, given the extensive scope and sensitive nature of the information. According to the Resecurity website, on October 9, an individual using the alias ""pwn0001"" shared a post on BreachForums (a darknet crime forum) offering access to 815 million records containing information on ""Indian Citizen Aadhaar and Passport"". In August this year, another threat actor known as ""Lucius"" posted a thread on BreachForums offering to sell a 1.8 terabyte data leak related to an unnamed ""Indian internal law enforcement organisation"".
