Tata Electronics confirms it experienced a cybersecurity incident affecting parts of its internal digital systems, after researchers and multiple reports said a ransomware group posted a large data cache on the dark web. Several outlets cite claims by a group calling itself “World Leaks,” which says the stolen material includes sensitive information connected to Apple and Tesla. Security researchers who reviewed listings described an alleged dataset of more than 200,000 files, totaling over 630GB, including folders referencing manufacturing specifications and quality-control guidance, along with other internal materials such as engineering drawings and staff-related information.
India’s government is reported to be investigating the incident. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology says the matter has been reported to CERT-In, and IT Secretary S. Krishnan states that authorities are investigating. Reports add that Tata Electronics has launched an internal response and hired a global consultant to conduct a forensic audit. Tata says its response protocols were deployed quickly and that the incident has no impact on operations across businesses.
Some reporting notes that Apple-sensitive material could involve unreleased iPhone 18 Pro component and supplier information, and that other documents associated with companies such as Tesla, Qualcomm and TSMC were also reportedly posted.
