Siddharth Prabhakar reports:

CHENNAI: The case of breach of data of 3.1 crore customers of the Chennai-headquartered Star Health Insurance has taken a fresh turn with its MD Anand Roy, his wife Akhila Shetty Roy and CFO Nilesh Kambli allegedly getting threat messages delivered via courier from Hyderabad.

A probe by the TN cyber crime wing has found that the hacker known by his online identity ‘Xenzen’, who had released the data in public domain in September 2024, had hired a Hyderabad-based youth to send threats to the company’s officials in February 2025.

The youth, identified as Mohammed Irfan, was found from Telangana and arrested recently by the cyber crime officials under sections of data theft and the IT Act. Xenzen contacted Irfan through a private messenger app with end-to-end encryption, and instructed him to send threat letters and bullets inside tiffin boxes to the company officials, sources said.
