New Delhi, Feb 4 : The recent data leak of at least 26 lakh Airtel users from Jammu and Kashmir was the handiwork of Pakistan-based hackers, who created new accounts to put data in the public forum and sell them for $3500 in Bitcoin, a security expert said on Thursday.
The hackers, who go by the name of 'TeamLeets' and are possibly operating from Pakistan, initially dumped the data on a link and even threatened to leak more Airtel data via a new Twitter handle that goes by the name of 'Red Rabbit Teams'.
