Indian real estate marketplace NoBroker is reportedly being held to ransom after a data breach.

Dubai-based cybercrime monitoring network Hackmanac has reported on X (formerly Twitter) that hacker group Kill Security has breached NoBroker and accessed vital information including:

...names, addresses, PAN numbers, financial data on transaction amounts for stamp duty and registration fees, legal agreements for non-residential property usage, and consent for Aadhaar-based verification, including biometric data.

Hackmanac has also claimed NoBroker has been ransomed for $50,000 to regain control of the data.
