In: Yatra.com breach: How to check if your data is compromised, and what to do if it is

Posted on July 5, 2018 by Dissent

Shilpa S. Ranipeta reports:

Online travel bookings platform Yatra.com reportedly had five million records exposed in a data breach back in 2013. That means if you have an account on Yatra.com, your data is possibly in the hands of someone who shouldn’t have it. This information was tweeted by a website called ‘Have I Been Pwned’ (HIBP) on Thursday.

According to the website, the data contained email and physical addresses, dates of birth and phone numbers, along with both PINs and passwords stored in plain text. To be precise, 5,033,997 accounts were compromised.
