Since it's IIT that is leaking, we will form a committee with international institute of technology and their cyber security teams will secure data.

JEE Advanced 2026 candidate/result infrastructure (https://t.co/6mBpjkxH01) had a public cloud storage misconfiguration exposing bulk candidate data without auth.

This exposed ~179.6k result records and ~187.3k admit-card PDFs, including candidate names, DOBs and mobile numbers.

@sandygrains Ethical hacking is an oxymoron specifically reserved for morons and charlatans in Indian context. FWIW the kid is not one.

The sad state of media, judiciary and law enforcement means, one has to use charlatan-ish terms to be safe.

Very few real people had any relationship with Jio Payments Bank. If anything this could be largest leak of fraudster database.

Jio Payments Bank, NSDL Payments Bank have all been nothing but fraudster safe haven and everyone knows it.

🇮🇳 India: Jio Payments Bank Database Allegedly Leaked

* Threat actor claims to be distributing a database allegedly associated with Jio Payments Bank

* Listing title references more than 6,000 records

* The post provides very limited information regarding:
* Source of the data
* Date of compromise
* Method of access
* Scope of affected customers
* Verification of authenticity

* The listing includes Jio Payments Bank branding and advertises a downloadable dataset

* No clear evidence is presented in the visible portion of the post to independently validate the claim

Analyst Note:

Financial-sector databases remain among the most valuable assets traded in underground communities due to their potential use in fraud, identity theft, account takeover attempts, SIM-swapping operations, and targeted social engineering campaigns. Even relatively small datasets can be operationally significant when they contain verified customer information linked to banking or payment services. Additional validation would be required before determining whether this represents a genuine breach, recycled data, or an unverified claim.

@kingslyj Nah, NAD has been the talk since 2020 NEP

The only way to devalue palantir types is by universalising such-weapon-like tech. Camera and CCTVs did that to privacy.

Sign boards / don't picture me badges no longer work. Like wise for surveillance.

Humanities (specifically progressive ones) should also be tactical

[nisarga @ni5arga]

It's mostly for educational purposes and OSINT (something I've been working on and researching on from more than 10 years now) - won't delete it, will be publishing more research and tools on this topic. I personally don't feel what Palantir does is bad either, they just do OSINT & defense-tech on a commercial scale.

[Srikanth.CashlessConsumer | ஸ்‌ரீகாந்த் @logic]

@_svs_ Not going to be fix either. If it's literally 'pubic exam' - shouldn't any code dealing with it should also be public?

[Srinivas Kodali @digitaldutta]

Almost seven years ago, what we were demanding the government was to provide a bug reporting mechanism. This was for entirety of Digital India with Aadhaar as foundation. Nothing has changed and nothing will.

When my agent realises it read my work for context ... Best form of hallucination prevention :)

[Nikhil Pahwa @nixxin]

Someone @ CERT-IN woke up & decided to come to work finally.

CERT-IN was always useless. Moment this govt took a decision to take CERT-IN out of the ambit of accountability via RTI, the pressure to improve vanished.

Destruction of RTI by this govt has real world consequences.

[Nikhil Pahwa @nixxin]

This is how courts and government establish credibility. It's theatre. How do you expect people clueless about tech to understand this?

Look at the age verification and encryption debates in India and you'll see what I mean.

Dashboards are for humans.
APIs are for developers.
CLI & MCP are for agents.
@Razorpay now has all four.

@nixxin Hardly any reportage on this

[Srikanth.CashlessConsumer | ஸ்‌ரீகாந்த் @logic]

@nixxin My agent wrote a #KnowYourExamTech article and big loser in both CBSE and SSC tender is TCS. So this good just be bigger match played parallely behind the screens using students geniune concerns.

@psankar @njganesh Straight up import of HR from manufacturing world. The. Samsung worker protest for instance would have had such HR. Pretty common to have industrial labour relations folks in such roles. They do have power asymmetries

[Srikanth.CashlessConsumer | ஸ்‌ரீகாந்த் @logic]

@psankar ni5arg called out rightly, it's buzzword stuffing and nothing else.

@kingslyj @nixxin @neorevolt You don't need to go that far to any apk. Pretty sure GitHub has multiple of them

[Srikanth.CashlessConsumer | ஸ்‌ரீகாந்த் @logic]

@_svs_ Cherry on top was IIIT B involvement with MOSIP, well after the fact India had a disastrous Aadhaar. So credential renting seems like a pattern, not isolated incident.

[Srikanth.CashlessConsumer | ஸ்‌ரீகாந்த் @logic]

@_svs_ https://t.co/cjKO9AwbyF Even the most charitable view doesn't look good. Esp TS had suicides. Even now, he could come out with a statement, silence doesn't do any good.

PS : Met him only once, felt similarly, but reading committees he has been on, makes me lose respect

[Srikanth.CashlessConsumer | ஸ்‌ரீகாந்த் @logic]

@jjude @kalyanasc Even the most charitable reading is bad. How does one continue to be involved with entity associated with mass suicides without fixing the problem "after 7 years"
