Data Breach Exposes Sensitive Files from Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant

A ransomware group, World Leaks, has leaked over 19,000 sensitive files related to India's Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant on the dark web. The leaked data, attributed to Anil Ambani's Reliance Group, includes blueprints, supplier information, and inspection records. Reliance confirmed a 'partial breach' of data on a server managed by third-party provider Yotta. The compromised files span from 2016 to mid-2025 and could pose serious security risks to the facility, according to experts. The Nuclear Power Corporation of India and India's cybersecurity agency, CERT-In, are investigating the breach. The leaked documents do not include critical reactor technology but may reveal access points and system connections. World Leaks typically publishes stolen data after ransom demands are ignored. The breach highlights vulnerabilities in India's nuclear infrastructure amid rising cyber threats.

Key Points: • World Leaks leaked 19,000 files from the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant on the dark web. • Reliance Group confirmed a partial data breach linked to a server managed by Yotta. • The leaked documents include sensitive blueprints and supplier information, raising security concerns.
