'Verifying authenticity': DRDO sources on report claiming DRDO data put on dark web The recent report by Alibi Global that a threat actor has placed allegedly stolen Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) data on the dark web for sale is a stark reminder of India's cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
The fact that sensitive technical information, purportedly related to approvals or signatures of senior scientists, has been compromised raises questions about the efficacy of DRDO's security protocols.
A Kerala based cyber forensics firm helped uncover this threat by scanning underground forums and dark web marketplaces.
