New delhi date. May 23, 2020, Saturday

The proliferation of internet and digitization is increasing day by day. On the other hand, the incidence of cyber crime and data theft is also increasing. Once again, the personal data of Indian users has been leaked. The cyber criminal has stolen the personal data of 29 million Indians looking for jobs and leaked it on the Dark Web. All this data has been shared in a hacking forum in Free, from where anyone can easily download the data. This information was provided by the online intelligence firm Sibyl.

Sibal is the same internet firm that had earlier reported the theft of data from Facebook and NA Academy users. According to Sibal, the personal data of 29 million job seekers in India is available on the Dark Web. The biggest thing is that this data has been leaked for free. There is usually a fixed price for data leaked on the Dark Web, but this data of 29 million Indians is available for free. The data includes people's educational qualifications, home address, phone number and other personal information.

Sibal said the data was leaked from a major job search website in India. The company is investigating the source from which the data was leaked. The worry is that a lot of this data could be misused. It also includes people's names, numbers, addresses, qualifications, experience as well as important educational certificates. That's enough information for any kind of fraud. This information has also been used to create fake identities.
