In what could be the biggest breach affecting Indian organizations, Seqrite Cyber Intelligence Labs along with its partner seQtree InfoServices has tracked an advertisement on DarkNet announcing secret access to the servers and database dump of over 6000 Indian businesses – ISPs, Government and private organisations.
It has identified the affected organisation as India's National Internet Registry: IRINN (Indian Registry for Internet Names and Numbers)
which comes under National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI).
As a precautionary measure, Seqrite Intelligence Labs has reached out to Government authorities and Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) with a strong recommendation to alert all potentially affected organisations and urge them to change passwords and get their servers and systems patched with latest updates.
The hacker has priced the information at 15 Bitcoins and is offering network takedown of affected organizations for an unspecified amount.
