New Delhi, June 13

With the Congress intensifying its attack on the government over alleged data leak of Covid shot recipients registered on India’s online vaccine delivery platform, CoWIN, a top cyber security firm on Tuesday ruled out breach of citizens’ privacy.

CloudSEK, a leading cyber security startup, published a report today on alleged Indian data leak saying, “CloudSEK analysis concludes that threat actors do not have access to the entire CoWIN portal nor the backend database. Based on matching fields from Telegram data and previously reported incidents affecting health worker of a region, we assume the information was scraped through these compromised credentials. ”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
