Security firm finds flaws in Indian online insurance broker

A cybersecurity firm told the major Indian online insurance brokerage last month that critical vulnerabilities in the company’s internet-facing network could expose sensitive personal and financial data from its 11 million customers. CyberX9 followed the standard ethical-hacker playbook, giving the brokerage time to patch the flaws and inform authorities. A week later, publicly traded Policybazaar said it had been illegally breached but “no significant customer data was exposed.” (AP Photo/Rafiq Maqbool) A man looks at the website of policybazaar website at a local insurance company office in Mumbai, India, Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2022.
