Summary of this article
A reported data breach involving documents linked to the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KKNPP) has turned the spotlight on the cybersecurity risks surrounding India's critical infrastructure — not because hackers penetrated the nuclear facility itself, but because they allegedly accessed sensitive project information through one of its contractors.
Ransomware group World Leaks published nearly 19,000 files allegedly connected to India's largest nuclear power plant after claiming to have compromised systems belonging to Reliance Infrastructure, an engineering contractor involved in Units 3 and 4 of the Kudankulam project, as per a report by Reuters.
