A ransomware group posted nearly 19,000 files allegedly from India's Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant on the dark web, including purported blueprints and supplier details, after a partial data breach of contractor Reliance Group's server hosted by Indian data centre provider Yotta. India's nuclear regulator and cybersecurity agency are investigating, though officials claim no nuclear security information was compromised.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you sell to India's nuclear plants or their prime contractors, your supply chain just became a ransomware target - and the buyer won't forgive you for being breached via a third-party data centre. Audit your own exposure and your customers' hosting now, before regulators mandate it.
