BigBasket 20 million user database available online for sale. The database got compromised in 2020 and, approx. 20 million user database were compromised. Fast forward to 2021, an Infamous Hacker group that goes by the name ShinyHunters, published these data on cybercrime forums. The data includes emails, names, hashed passwords, birthdates, and phone numbers.
