⚡ 🚨 BREAKING: Files tied to India's largest nuclear power plant Kudankulam have surfaced on the dark web -- including purported blueprints of its ventilation systems and a control room floor layout....

What's in the data leak? Nearly 19,000 files tied to Kudankulam are part of a larger 858,000-file cache ransomware group World Leaks says it stole from Anil Ambani's Reliance Group. The files include vendor proposals and records of a joint inspection between the plant's operator and Reliance, with photos of equipment.

Why did Reliance have these docs? Reliance Infrastructure won a contract in 2018 to build support infrastructure for the plant's Unit 3 and Unit 4. Reliance says there was a "partial breach" of its data on a server hosted by Yotta Data Services Private Limited. Yotta says it caught suspicious activity on that server on May 29 and Reliance flagged the leak claims to Yotta in late June.

Significance? "The exposure of such data could show an adversary not just who has access to the project but which systems that access reaches," Nickolas Roth of the Nuclear Threat Initiative told us.

World Leaks context? In June, World Leaks told Reuters it had sought $1.5 million in ransom for Tata Group files that contained confidential component designs of clients Apple and Tesla, adding that it posted the data after Tata "ignored" its demand.

Nuclear Power Corporation has been communicating with Reliance about the breach and India's main cybersecurity agency CERT-In is looking into the incident, a source said.

Recently, a weird series of videos surfaced from across India. E-rickshaws weaving through traffic were coming to an abrupt halt. The driver would have no idea why.

Nothing appeared broken. As it turned out, a few people on a nearby footpath had choked the ride from their phones.🧵👇

Last month, a thousand tractors rolled into Gandhinagar. Farmers across Gujarat were protesting high-tension power lines being run across their fields to carry electricity from the state's solar and wind projects. Land, in India, can be a nightmare.🧵👇

🇮🇳 India: https://t.co/Ecz1NLNdXP Database Allegedly Offered for Sale – Claimed 100M User Records

* Threat actor claims to be selling a database belonging to https://t.co/Ecz1NLNdXP, an Indian e-commerce platform often compared to Shopify

* The post alleges exposure of approximately 100 million user records

* Claimed affected datasets include:
* User account information
* Buyer profiles
* Purchase and transaction history
* Store lead records
* Customer address information
* E-commerce activity logs

* The threat actor further claims the database contains:
* Names
* Email addresses
* Mobile phone numbers
* Shipping and billing addresses
* User account metadata
* Transaction-related information

* The listing also references encrypted payment API keys and multiple large database tables allegedly associated with platform operations

* No independent verification of the claims has been observed at the time of reporting

Analyst Note:

Large e-commerce ecosystems represent highly valuable targets because they aggregate customer identities, transaction histories, merchant information, and operational data in a single environment. If verified, a breach of this scale could expose consumers and merchants to credential attacks, phishing campaigns, business fraud, and account takeover attempts. The mention of transaction history and platform-related API assets may further increase the potential impact beyond a typical customer database exposure.

🇮🇳 Indian Defense Missile Program Documents Allegedly Offered for Sale

A threat actor is advertising what they claim are internal procurement and planning documents related to multiple Indian defense missile programs.

According to the forum post:

* The seller claims the archive contains approximately 2 GB of documents.
* Advertised content includes procurement plans, delivery schedules, contract references, and program milestones.
* Listed programs include Astra Mk-I/Mk-II, Akash Prime, QRSAM, HELINA/Dhruvastra, MPATGM, PDV, AAD, and SAAW.
* The post also references MoUs involving Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), Thales UK, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI).
* Asking price: $1,500 (negotiable).

Analyst Note: These claims have not been independently verified. If authentic, such documents could provide valuable intelligence on defense procurement timelines, strategic planning, and industrial partnerships, making them highly valuable to nation-state intelligence services and defense-focused threat actors.

A file transfer setup using no internet, Bluetooth, or USB drive.
The sender converts the file into encoded QR code frames displayed rapidly on screen. The receiver scans those frames continuously with its camera and reconstructs the original file.

The camera is the only communication bridge.

Works entirely offline particularly relevant for air-gapped systems where network transfer isn't an option.

India's clean energy capacity has now surpassed fossil fuels, with more than 50% of the country's power coming from renewables during peak daytime hours.

India is one of the world's leading countries in renewable energy growth.

A French developer built a free tool that turns your Android phone into a desktop app in one command.

And it is used inside giant bot farms in China and Russia.

It’s called scrcpy.

Connect your phone through a cable or Wi-Fi, run one command, and the entire screen appears on your computer.

You can click with your mouse.

Type using your keyboard.

Copy text between both devices, drag files onto the phone, record the screen, forward audio, and control several phones at once.

That last part is why scrcpy shows up in phone farms.

Instead of hiring one person to hold every device, an operator can place dozens of Android screens on one monitor, check which accounts are running, restart failed apps, and manage an entire wall of phones from one keyboard.

The tool does not create fake views or followers.

It just makes hundreds of phones easier to control.

The wild part is what scrcpy does not require.

No root access. No account. No ads. No internet connection. Nothing stays installed on your phone after you close it.

It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, reaches up to 120 frames per second, and usually shows the first image in about one second.

Your phone was already a computer.

scrcpy just gives it a proper screen and keyboard.

100% open source.
