Has Airtel’s customer database been breached by hackers? Company says this

Sunil Mittal-led Bharti Airtel, on Friday (July 5) refuted claims of any security system breach or data compromise following reports of an alleged customer data leak. The company dismissed the allegations as a deliberate effort to damage its reputation by certain vested interests.

“There has been a report alleging 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 telecom major said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
