 MUMBAI: India’s Reliance Jio said it was investigating claims that personal data of over 100 million of its customers had leaked onto a website, in what may be the first ever large-scale data breach at an Indian telecom operator.

Jio, India’s newest telecoms entrant, said that the data on the website, Magicapk.com, appeared to be “unauthentic” and that its subscriber data was safe and maintained with the highest security.
