Bharti Airtel dismisses data breach reports as desperate attempt to tarnish brand’s image

Telecom service provider Bharti Airtel on Friday denied reports of any breach of its customer data and said that such a claim was a desperate attempt to tarnish the brand’s image.

“There has been a report alleging that Airtel customer data has been compromised. This is nothing short of a desperate attempt to tarnish Airtel’s reputation by vested interests. We have done a thorough investigation and can confirm that there has been no breach whatsoever from Airtel systems,” the telco said in a statement.
