☢️🚨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.
