US Senators Seek Action Against Three India-Based Firms Over Data Theft AllegationsPreviousNext

A bipartisan group of US Senators has urged the Trump administration to take action against three India-based companies—Sunkissed Organic Pvt Ltd, BellTrox Ltd, and CyberRoot Ltd—accused of hacking and stealing data from thousands of Americans and US firms. Investigations by Reuters and The Citizen Lab indicate these firms targeted private equity, pharmaceutical companies, and law firms, allegedly operating on behalf of the Qatari government. Senators also raised concerns about efforts to censor investigative reporting through foreign courts.
