BigBasket Data Breach

[Jonas]

The best time to hit their business. No conspiracy detected.

I think given the amount of leaks, Indian banks etc. will have to start working under the assumption that everyone's full name, mobile number, email address, dob and pan number are publically available and then design authentication around that

But is the infrastructure of these banks in itself secured enough?

It is one of the reasons why I'm hesitant in opening a bank account with video KYC. God knows if the verification video and associated details end up on the internet soon enough. Of course when something like that happens they'll say "your financial information is of course safe" as if that is the only thing that matters.

Just received email from Firefox monitor about data breach of my Big Basket account, what steps should I take next, I have already mailed them regarding account deletion.

If your payment details weren't saved there and you didn't reuse that password at other sites, nothing else you can do.

Unless you are open to changing your name

Got email from Firefox.
Email which is compromised is secondary which I use for e-comm website. Not sure if I had password as login happened by OTP always.
What about Address?
