PlugTheBreach

A public record of data breaches affecting people in India.

When an organisation loses your data, you are usually the last to hear about it — if you hear at all. PlugTheBreach tracks those incidents in one place, with a citation for every claim and an explicit note on whether the organisation ever admitted what happened.

An initiative of the Internet Freedom Foundation.

Incidents

Period
2016–2026
Reported reach
6.99 billion
Never acknowledged
47

Reach counts only the incidents where a figure was ever reported, and reported figures are frequently disputed. It cannot be read as a headcount — the same person appears in many breaches. "Never acknowledged" covers incidents the organisation denied, ignored, or has yet to respond to.
