Star Health Insurance, an Indian insurance firm with $1.4 billion in revenue, has confirmed it suffered a malicious cyberattack. Hackers claim to have obtained personal data, including names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, PAN card details, and salary information, of approximately 31 million customers. The data is reportedly being offered for sale on Telegram for prices ranging from $43,000 to $150,000.
