A group of hackers claims to have stolen data from Pathao, a digital service provider in Bangladesh, affecting approximately 19 million users. The hackers are demanding a ransom of $400,000 USD to prevent the release of the compromised information. Pathao has acknowledged some unauthorized access to user data, but the extent and nature of the breach are yet to be confirmed. The hackers’ claims regarding the volume of data stolen are also unverified at this time. This incident raises concerns about data security practices within Pathao and the vulnerability of digital platforms in Bangladesh. Further investigation is underway to ascertain the veracity of the claims and mitigate potential damage to users. The company has not yet released detailed information about the specific types of data affected.
