After a cyber-security research firm said that call data records of around 20 million customers of Vodafone Idea was leaked, the operator has denied the breach
CyberX9 said in its report that the call data records of 20.6 million postpaid customers were leaked due to vulnerabilities in the company’s systems
It claimed that data leaked included call time, duration of the call, from where the call was made, full name of the subscriber, address SMS details and roaming details
However, Vi denied the claim, saying that there was no data breach and the report is “false and malicious”
It said that it learnt about a “potential vulnerability in its billing communication” and that “was immediately fixed
A thorough forensic analysis was conducted to “ascertain there was no data breach, Vi added
Vodafone Idea said that it performs “regular checks” and audits are conducted to strengthen the security infrastructure
CyberX9, however, said that the company’s claim that they have conducted a forensic audit is absurd
