The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and the Cyber Crime Police are searching for the hacker who gained access to private information belonging to the e-commerce firm Cyble and posted advertisements for the sale of the data on the dark web.
According to reports, the hacker sought payment from the business owner in order to remove the list.
The issue was discovered after Praveen B.S., the business's owner, discovered that his client list had been taken.
The data included details of all the customers who bought groceries and other products from his company’s online website, said a police officer.
