In November 2020, BigBasket confirmed to Bloomberg News that they had suffered a data breach after ShinyHunter had previously tried to sell the stolen data in private sales.
“There’s been a data breach and we’ve filed a case with the cybercrime police,” BigBasket CEO Hari Menon told Bloomberg News. “The investigators have asked us not to reveal any details as it might hamper the probe.”
