The COVID19 pandemic has accelerated the process of digital transformation for organisations and people. But, this has also increased the risk of cyber-attacks which people and organisations are facing.
According to Israel-based cybersecurity firm, Under The Breach, a data breach in the servers of the Pizza brand, Domino’s has exposed information of its Indian users.
The database consists of details of over 18 crore orders and sensitive information including phone numbers, name, email addresses and credit card details of over 10 lakh users is on sale on the dark web, said UTB.
The parent company of Domino’s, Jubilant Food-Works did not deny the data breach but refused the claims about the financial data being leaked, added a media report.
“No data pertaining to financial information of any person was accessed and the incident has not resulted in any operational or business impact. As a policy we do not store financial details or credit card data of our consumers, thus no such information has been compromised”, the company said in a statement to the Times of India. They further added that their team is investigating the matter and have taken the necessary steps to contain the incident.
