Paytm Mall suffers data breach, ransom demanded by hackers: Report (moneycontrol.com) 1 points by techwarrior 5y ago ↗ HN
[–] saptarshinath 5y ago ↗ "The volume of data breached is currently unknown. Cyble claims that attackers have demanded 10 ETH, equivalent to USD 4,000." —The attackers clearly don't know anything about Paytm. $4000 is likely their marketing budget per minute!Seriously though, Paytm users have had to face fraud on their platform for so long (for instance, here: https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/all-you-need-to-k...) that I'm surprised they haven't got some steps in order already.The weakest link in cybersecurity is the people though. And PayTM has a lot of them!
