Thousands of Indian bank transfer records found spilling online after security lapse

A security lapse has resulted in thousands of Indian bank transfer records being exposed online. Security researchers discovered the data, which was eventually secured after the issue was reported. The exposed records belonged to NuPay, an Indian fintech company. NuPay acknowledged the incident, stating that it was due to a "configuration" error on their part. The company has taken responsibility for the incident and claims to have resolved the issue. The exposed data included details of bank transfers, potentially compromising the privacy and security of individuals and businesses involved. The incident highlights the importance of robust data security measures, especially in the financial sector, to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access. While the full extent of the data breach and its potential consequences are not yet clear, the incident serves as a reminder for companies to prioritize data security and regularly review their systems to prevent such lapses from occurring in the future.
