RailYatri Database

In 2022, the RailYatri database was compromised, resulting in the leak of 31,062,673 records. The leaked data included personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, and travel history.



The breach was discovered by security researcher Anurag Sen, who reported it to RailYatri. The company responded by taking down the affected database and launching an investigation. RailYatri also notified affected users and recommended that they change their passwords and be cautious of phishing attempts.



The RailYatri database leak is a reminder of the importance of data security. Companies that collect and store PII have a responsibility to protect that data from unauthorized access. They should implement strong security measures and regularly monitor their systems for breaches.
