About this leak
In April 2021 a significant data breach involving the Indian financial platform Moneycontrol surfaced when threat actors offered a database for sale on a popular hacking forum. The breach reportedly originated from an earlier incident in September 2017 but gained public attention later. The exposure affected millions of users with a subset of over 700 thousand unique records confirmed. Compromised information included sensitive account details such as unhashed passwords and personal identifiers. The scale of the breach highlights vulnerabilities in legacy data protection mechanisms within the financial news and services sector in India.
