FIR after Noida logistics firm claims client data hacked
Noida: A logistics company based in Noida has reported a serious data breach, alleging that cyber criminals accessed sensitive personal information of its high-profile clients, including senior bureaucrats, judges, defence personnel, and diplomats. A complaint filed by Agarwal Movers and Packers Ltd president and CEO, Jaswinder Singh Ahluwalia, stated several clients have received suspicious and invasive phone calls from unknown individuals beginning June 1.
