Online platform haveibeenpwned.com, a website that allows internet users to check whether their personal data has been compromised, has retracted its data breach claim related to Paytm Mall.
The creator of the platform, Troy Hunt, tweeted saying that data circulating has no connection to Paytm and the breach seems "fabricated".
"An update on this breach: after loading it into @haveibeenpwned, the head of @paytm's infosec team reached out and we had a chat about the authenticity of the data, which they believe didn't originate from them. We now collectively believe it's fabricated," Troy posted.
