Hacker claims theft of Piramal Group’s employee data
Reading Time: 2 minutesA hacker claims to be selling data relating to thousands of current and former employees of the Indian conglomerate Piramal Group, a multinational company that operates across pharma, financial services and real estate. Piramal rebuffed claims that its systems were breached and said the information came from a third party.
The allegedly stolen data could be a boon for cybercriminals by using the information for targeting employees with cyberattacks.
Piramal Group has over 10,000 employees and 21 diverse nationalities working from its offices in over 30 countries worldwide, according to its website. The Mumbai-headquartered company also has a brand presence across over 100 markets globally. Piramal operates multiple subsidiaries, including the non-banking financial company Piramal Enterprises, pharmaceutical firm Piramal Pharma, healthcare company Piramal Healthcare, and real estate development arm Piramal Realty.
‘After conducting a thorough investigation, we can confirm that there has been no data breach incident at Piramal Group. Our IT and cybersecurity teams have rigorously examined our systems, and there is no evidence to support the claim that any information or files of this nature exist on our servers. Additionally, the sample data does not include any Piramal information such as employee email IDs, and it appears to originate from a third-party platform,’ said Piramal spokesperson Mihir Mukherjee in an emailed statement.
‘After a thorough investigation, we confirmed [to] CERT-In that no such data breach incident has occurred on our systems, and no information is compromised,’ the spokesperson said.
Updated with further comment from Piramal.
