The hacker group Shadow Hacker has now accused Monish Kaul’s for his “Unauthorised actions” that led to the breach of data of 1.5 million Hindu girls in a post which is shared by “We Leak Database” the same telegram channel which was selling database of 1.5 million Hindu girls for 400USD.

The Hacker group SHADOW HACKER in a Post wrote :

“Hello, I am here to expose Monish Kaul, the engineer of http://Zivame.com. Let me tell you the story. First, I found a vulnerability on http://Zivame.com and reported it via email to ********@zivame.com. You can check if you work there. I also asked them for a bounty. Monish contacted me on Telegram since I had provided him with my Telegram handle, and we started to negotiate. During our conversation, he informed me that he was dealing with me illegally and unofficially, without the knowledge of his superiors and the company. This lack of official involvement is the main reason behind the breach. We agreed on a deal for $1500. I closed the bug with him, fixed everything, and everything seemed fine. I want to emphasize that I never sold any data or attempted to cause further damage. However, after a few days, I contacted him again and informed him that I had discovered a new vulnerability that allowed me to take over any Hindu girl's account on the platform! To my surprise, he ignored me and told me that he was not interested, stating that since he had already paid me before, I should have provided the information for free. However, I had only asked for $500. I have provided evidence in the form of pictures, which can be found at this link: https://imgur.com/a/5IG0f6t . Despite my concerns, he acted indifferent and expressed no interest. This made me furious, leading me to expose http://Zivame.com. I can confidently state that he is the main reason behind the breach, as I am the individual who breached Zivame. I hold Monish Kaul responsible for this incident. Once again, I want to mention that Zivame can verify the logs of the webmail, the messages sent, and confirm that we had a conversation with him, establishing his involvement without the company's approval. TechCrunch informed India’s computer emergency response team CERT-In about the availability of data samples on Friday.

“We are already in process of taking appropriate action with the concerned authority,” CERT-In said in reply. Zivame declined to comment on the apparent breach when reached by TechCrunch. When reached via LinkedIn, Zivame chief technology and product officer Monish Kaul opened and read our message, but did not respond.”
