The breach, which reportedly exposed over 800,000 records, has raised concerns about the security of personal and financial data stored by the company.
The leaked data is said to include names, email addresses, and other sensitive information.
Details of the Alleged Breach
According to cyber threat intelligence reports from DarkWebInformer, the hacker responsible for the breach claims to have released 36 files containing a total of 802,000 records.
These records reportedly include personally identifiable information (PII) such as names and email addresses.
While it remains unclear whether financial data or passwords were compromised in the breach, the sheer volume of exposed information has alarmed both users and cybersecurity experts.
The threat actor behind the leak allegedly posted the data on a dark web forum, where it could potentially be accessed by other malicious actors.
The hacker’s motives remain unknown at this time, but experts speculate that the breach could be part of a larger trend of cyberattacks targeting Indian companies in recent months.
Potential Impact on Users
The breach poses significant risks to users of Mr Tips, as their personal information could now be exploited for various malicious activities, including phishing attacks and identity theft.
With names and email addresses exposed, cybercriminals may attempt to impersonate Mr Tips or other trusted entities to deceive users into revealing more sensitive information.
Financial advisory platforms like Mr. Tips often store critical financial details about their clients, making them attractive targets for hackers.
Although there is no confirmation yet that financial data was compromised in this attack, experts warn users to remain vigilant and monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity.
In response to the breach, cybersecurity professionals recommend that affected users change their passwords immediately and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all accounts linked to their emails.
Additionally, users should be cautious when receiving unsolicited emails or messages that request personal or financial information.
