A recent government cyber analysis has identified recurring causes behind major data leaks in India, including misconfigured servers, compromised credentials, insider access, weak third-party security, excessive access privileges, and use of unauthorized software. The assessment covered incidents involving government departments, financial institutions, and healthcare platforms such as SBI, ICMR, CoWIN, and AIIMS Delhi. Officials noted that many breaches resulted from basic security lapses rather than sophisticated attacks, highlighting the need for improved monitoring and cybersecurity measures.
