The accused were found selling different categories of information exceeding more
than 140 categories that include some important and sensitive categories like details
of defense personnel, mobile numbers of citizens, NEET students, employees from
Energy and Power sector, PAN card details, government employees, information
regarding gas and petroleum, D-MAT accounts, students' database, women’s
database, Bangalore women consumer data, loans, insurance, credit card, debit
card holders (of Axis, HSBC and other banks), Whatsapp users, Facebook users, IT
Organization employees, frequent flyers, and others. The leakage of such data also
portrays the human rights implications of surveillance and violations of privacy. The
accused were selling the data through Justdial (e-commerce platform) openly
without any action taken against the sellers by the platform.
The country’s officials were skeptical about sharing more details about how data
related to defense personnel, their ranks, their addresses and other personal and
confidential data was accessed. Database of 30 million users was probably leaked
from telecom service providers.
Data of defense personnel and government employees can be used for espionage,
impersonation and committing serious offenses, which can jeopardize national
security. The data related to PAN cards can be used to commit serious offenses. The
data is being used to commit a large number of cyber crimes by gaining confidence
with the victim by disclosing the above information.
