A massive collection of classified defence documents has reportedly been stolen by hackers and put up for sale. The stolen information includes blueprints for a weapon, details about an upcoming Air Force facility, procurement strategies, and India’s defence partnerships with other countries.
Cybersecurity firm Athenian Tech, which analyzed the data, believes it was taken from the personal device of a former Defence Ministry official. Among the leaked files are emergency evacuation procedures for high-ranking government officials, including the President and Prime Minister, in the event of an aerial attack. This has raised serious concerns about national security.
