The Bombay High Court granted urgent interim relief to HDFC Asset Management Company after a ransomware group named "Morpheus" allegedly exfiltrated over 680 GB of sensitive data from its IT systems. The court issued an injunction restraining the hackers from using, publishing, or distributing the stolen information and directed the Union government to take measures to block related accounts.
