Domino's India Hires Global Forensic Agency to Probe Hacking of 180 Million Orders
NEW DELHI — After a hacker made 13TB data of nearly 180 million orders of Domino's India with key details public on the Dark Web, Jubilant Foodworks that owns the master franchise for Domino's Pizza in India sent a letter to users May 25, saying that it has hired a global forensic agency to investigate the matter.
Domino's India said it suffered an information security
incident on March 24 wherein its systems were attacked by a hacker.
"We moved quickly to contain the breach and hired an
external agency to do an impact assessment. Domino's, as a policy, does not
store financial details of users such as complete credit card number, CVV,
passwords etc and therefore, no such information was compromised," the
company said in the open letter.
Independent cyber security researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia
first reported that Domino's India has been hit by a hacker again, after Alon
Gal who is CTO of cyber security firm Hudson Rock, claimed in April that credit
card details of nearly one million people who purchased online on Domino's
Pizza India were allegedly being sold for over Rs 4 crore on the Dark Web.
According to Rajaharia, data of 18 crore orders from
Domino's Pizza in India has now become public, that contains name, email, phone
number and even the GPS location of the users.
"We have lodged a formal complaint with the relevant
authorities and also filed a complaint with the cyber crime cell, and has hired
a global forensic agency to investigate the matter, to try and identify the
perpetrators behind the attack," Jubilant Foodworks said.
According to Rajaharia, the same person who earlier hacked
financial services company MobiKwik has compromised Domino's India.
"The earlier hacker failed to receive ransom and sold
the data to some unknown hacker, who has now posted the 13TB data of Domino's
India on the Dark Web," Rajaria had told IANS.
