Indian digital financial services platform Mobikwik denies claims that almost 8 TB of data put up for sale was allegedly stolen from its servers.
The threat actor who put the allegedly stolen data up for sale also created a search portal to allow anyone to check if their data is included in the stolen data.
Today, the company doubled down on their previous statement, denying again that the data breach ever happened and saying that customers who found their data exposed on the dark web might've uploaded the data themselves.
MobiKwik says that external security experts found no evidence of a data breach following a thorough investigation since the breach was reported by Rajaharia last month.
"The company is closely working with requisite authorities, and is confident that security protocols to store sensitive data are robust and have not been breached," MobiKwik said.
Over ten years ago, MobiKwik suffered a breach after attackers gained access to some of its servers and sent emails offering to sell confidential info belonging to MobiKwik users.
