This breach was first reported by FoneArena and the news has been spreading like a wildfire. The website Magicapk has access to the data of Reliance Jio subscribers.

The users are really worried about the security of their data. Some reported that this breach is limited to the early adopters of Jio 4G. Currently, the website is down or might have crashed. This could be due to the suspension of authorities too.

Responding to this data breach, Reliance Jio spokesperson asserted that law enforcement agencies are looking into it and will follow the strict action on it. The company also assured their subscribers that their data with the company would be safe. Let’s hope that this data breach is unauthentic.
