Juspay has acknowledged the breach of data in the month of August 2020 itself but the data seems to have surfaced only now as a dump offered for sale — by several persons or one person using many IDs — on the Dark Web.
The breach and Credit Card Data Leaked Online took place during March 2017 and August 2020. Juspay had claimed:
“On August 18, 2020, an unauthorized attempt on our servers was detected and terminated when in progress. No card numbers, financial credentials or transaction data were compromised.”
