Bharti Airtel Refutes Data Breach Claims

Telecom giant Bharti Airtel strongly denied any breach of its customer data, asserting that such claims are a desperate attempt to damage its reputation. This comes in response to an account on the dark web falsely claiming to possess customer data of over 375 million Airtel India users.

Telecom giant Bharti Airtel has dismissed reports suggesting a breach of its customer data, labeling such allegations as desperate attempts to tarnish its brand image.

According to Bharti Airtel, a thorough investigation revealed no compromise in their systems, despite accusations from a dark web account named 'xenZen', which claimed access to data of over 375 million Airtel India customers, including personal information like phone numbers, email addresses, and government IDs.

Airtel sources have also confirmed that the individual behind the allegations has been banned from a hacking forum for fraudulent activities.
