On March 30, 2022, a massive data breach at Flipkart, one of Indias largest e-commerce platforms, exposed the personal information of 3,851,715 users. The leaked data included sensitive information such as real names, email addresses, phone numbers, and home addresses.

The leak was discovered by security researchers at the French cybersecurity firm, CybelAngel, who alerted Flipkart to the breach. The company subsequently confirmed the incident and stated that the data was leaked from an external partners system and not from Flipkarts own systems. Flipkart also said that it had taken steps to secure the affected systems and prevent further breaches.
