This was a powder keg waiting to explode. Aadhar system was broken from the start as the digital infrastructure was time and again proved vulnerable by multiple experts. Let’s wait and see the impact this has on our future.

EPFO website compromised. Ministry emails compromised. Govt trying to deny and cover up but data is available on dark web.

Pathetic infosec practices by BJP govt, just horrendous mismanagement one after the other.

Best part is, if any Indian ethical hacker even tries to approach the govt, they mostly just ignore. No bounty for figuring out and exposing vulnerabilities either. 

Clueless shitheads are putting the entire country at risk with their bad practices and lack of recognition and rewards for Indian white hat community.

On Tuesday, a social media user on platform X alleged the leakage of documents from Chinese cyber agencies on GitHub. The user claimed that these documents contained data from the EPFO, the Indian PMO, and various public and private organisations.

Clensta CEO Claims LinkedIn Hack After Admitting to Fudging Books

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

In a shocking turn of events, a former employee at MoEngage, while serving their notice period, reportedly downloaded over 1,000 files, including confidential pitch decks, proposals from active deals, and sensitive product documentation, onto their personal device. This individual allegedly shared the stolen data with a competitor they were preparing to join.

As a result, this competitor has started appearing in all of MoEngage’s deals, armed with insider information, and MoEngage is facing unprecedented losses against them. The IT team at MoEngage flagged this alarming activity, and the former employee is now facing legal prosecution.

How low can you stoop for a company?

The employee is in for a world of pain  
  
 But the company probably did something to piss the employee off so bad, no one jeopardizes their career like this unless it was something personal
