Ransomware group World Leaks published nearly 19,000 files from Reliance Group related to India's Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant, including purported blueprints and supplier details. The breach poses serious safety risks to the country's largest nuclear facility, which is central to Modi's atomic energy expansion plans.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you sell components, systems or services into Kudankulam or similar nuclear plants, your design specs are now public and your customer's security posture is compromised—expect regulatory tightening on vendor vetting and air-gapped procurement that cuts out generalist suppliers. The 2027 operational deadline means Reliance and India's Nuclear Power Corporation will now demand either TS/SCI-equivalent clearance or redundant vendors for any critical path work.
