The Bombay High Court has granted temporary injunction against a ransomware group identifying itself as "Morpheus" from distributing or disclosing confidential data exfiltrated by it from the HFDC Asset Management Company. A vacation bench of Justice Shreeram Shirsat, in the order passed on May 29, said prima facie an arguable case was made out to grant interim relief. "If the confidential data is misused or leaked or traded or compromised, it will lead to dreadful consequences and it can cause irreparable and irreversible damage to the plaintiff company," the court said. Apart from the injunction against the ransomware group from using, distributing or disclosing the confidential data, the court also directed the Union government to take all steps necessary to remove, delete, block and disable accounts in relation to the stolen confidential data. The order was passed on an application and suit filed by HDFC Asset Management Company Limited seeking an injunction against the hackers
The CBSE revaluation portal's payment system was hit by a "malicious attack", with around 50 students getting affected, government sources have said. "There were some unauthorised attacks on the portal. The payment gateway was with respect to HDFC about 50-odd children had got in after the hack," a source said. According to the sources, the issue led to abnormal fee displays on the portal, where the payable amount in some cases fluctuated from around Re 1 to nearly Rs 67,000-68,000. "I think out of fun or out of mala fide intention, one rupee was shown and then Rs 67-68,000. So, there were about 50 children in whose cases the amount had changed," the source said. The glitch was linked to the HDFC payment gateway integrated with the system and occurred when the portal went live. "I think the portal was not functional for quite some time. There were issues with respect to the amount where 50 children came in, and they (hackers) manipulated the system," the source said. Four PSU ban
