The dark-web data dump has shaken up the critical infrastructure industry in India, revealing highly sensitive information about the country’s largest nuclear power plant, the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KKNPP) in Tamil Nadu.
Recently, the notorious ransomware syndicate, “World Leaks”, published more than 19,000 files that were directly tied to the construction of the facility and financial risk management. Qualysec Technology has confirmed the 14.3-gigabyte cache. The analysts have found that the incident is a major supply chain failure and an example of the critical shortcomings of third party security. The leaked files reveal secondary structural blueprints and a list of suppliers as well as a confidential $112 million terrorism insurance policy, all of which are separated from the primary reactor controls by physical barriers at the operators’ works.
