The login credentials and other inside information of more than 6,000 Indian ISPs, government departments and businesses is being advertised for sale on DarkNet.
Seqrite Cyber Intelligence Labs and seQtree InfoServices came across the content, each of which has been identified through the India National Internet Registry, reported The Economic Times. The security firms have notified the Indian government and the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre recommending to all that they immediately change their login credentials.
