Ransomware group World Leaks posted 19,000 files from India's largest nuclear power plant (Kudankulam) including purported blueprints of ventilation and cooling systems, control room layouts, and supplier details after contractor Reliance Group suffered a partial data breach. The breach exposes infrastructure vulnerabilities at a facility central to India's nuclear expansion plans and underscores wider cybersecurity gaps affecting critical infrastructure.

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

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you supply cooling, ventilation, control systems or security to nuclear or critical infrastructure projects in India or Asia, your customer's blueprints and your company name are now on the dark web—and so are your competitors' names. Expect tighter procurement rules and a rush to suppliers with proven cyber-vetting.
