IPS officer P Aravindhan faced a data breach while placing an order on a cosmetic shopping portal. Mr. Aravindhan who is the Zonal Director of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) (Chennai) has shared his experience in a tweet thread and termed it a ‘serious data breach issue’.
Sharing his experience he wrote, “I ordered few products from Nykaa and within half an hour after delivery I got a scam call claiming to be from Nykaa call center. This is the second time I am getting similar call and decided to play along. The caller had my name, phone no and delivery address which clearly indicates that there is a data leak from @MyNykaa/ @delhivery. And they wanted to me to place orders for more than 5k for an assured gift.” He also emphasised that such incidents of data breach is scary.
