Hacker puts BigBaskets 2 crore customers data on sale for 30 lakh rupees; BigBasket confirms data breach
The festive season in India has begun and even in the times of COVID-19 pandemic, people have been rushing out to get their hands on the best offers in the market.
Amid the festivities, BigBasket (an online grocery store) faced a massive data breach.
The e-commerce store allegedly leaked personal data of its 20 million users (two crore). According to Cyble ( cyber intelligence firm), the leaked data consisted of sensitive information such as customer name, email ID, phone numbers, passwords and much more.
A web hacker got his hands on this data, who then allegedly put it up for sale on the dark web.
Looked like this was one offer, for which neither Bigbasket nor it’s customer asked for!
When the research team of Cyble was on its routine monitoring on the Internet, they came across a database, which was being sold for nearly 30 lakh rupees. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that it belonged to BigBasket and had sensitive information of its customers. The SQL file of 15 GB contained the data of nearly 20 million users with specifics such as OTPs, Pin codes, DOBs, shipping locations, IP addresses and much more.
We revealed the names and the address of the people who have been exposed on the web? said Cyble. The company continued to say that they could not find any financial data of the users; looked like it was safe and the hacker could not access it.
The hacker failed to procure Debit and Credit card details of the users; still the degree of the breach was high? Cyble stated in a blog post.
After this incident BigBasket responded by saying that they learned about this breach a few days ago; their team was assessing the length of the breach and they were prepared to deal with this situation.
Commenting on the data breach, BigBasket in a statement, A few days ago, we learned about a potential data breach at BigBasket and are evaluating the extent of the breach and authenticity of the claim in consultation with cybersecurity experts and finding immediate ways to contain it. We have also lodged a complaint with the Cyber Crime Cell in Bengaluru and intend to pursue this vigorously to bring the culprits to book.
We reached out to the Cyber Crime Cell in Bengaluru and filed a complaint; there is nothing to panic, our team is looking into it? said Bigbasket.

In the most unbelievable incident ever, four men were arrested for allegedly raping a Bengal monitor lizard in Sahyadri Tiger Reserve (STR). The reserve is spread over four districts of Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur and Ratnagiri in Maharashtra.
The gruesome incident took place at Gothane village in Ratnagiri district on March 31 when the four accused illegally entered Chandoli National Park (part of the reserve). One of the four was also carrying a gun for hunting.
The Maharashtra Forest Department checked the mobile phone of one of the accused and that’s when he learnt about the incident. The officials found the recording of the act, which showed the accused allegedly gang-raping the monitor lizard.
A forest official said the four accused were identified as Sandeep Tukaram Pawar, Mangesh Kamtekar, Akshay Kamtekar and Ramesh Ghag.
The official said, “During the investigation, the forest officials found that the accused had allegedly raped a Bengal monitor lizard. Their act was also recorded in a mobile phone of one of the accused persons. We have recovered all the related evidence from the accused and they were granted forest department custody initially, but are out on bail now. They have been asked to mark their presence before the forest officer, who is probing the case, every Monday.”
“The four accused have been booked under various sections of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972,” said field director of Sahyadri Tiger Reserve (STR), Nanasaheb Ladkat.
