JusPay, an Indian online payment platform, acknowledged Monday that it sustained a breach of customer data in August. The announcement came a day after an independent security researcher reported that data on millions of JusPay customers had been offered for sale on a darknet forum.

In a blog post, JusPay acknowledged it sustained a breach on Aug. 18, which the company says it immediately addressed. The breach appears to have stemmed from a recycled Amazon Web Services access key that enabled unauthorized access to its databases, the company said.

Hackers accessed the company's server containing "masked" card information, card expiration information and mobile telephone numbers, JusPay said. Plus, email IDs were accessed for a subset of its users.

"On 18th Aug 2020 during the early hours, we noticed an unauthorized activity in one of our data stores," according to the JusPay blog posted Monday. "Our incident response team immediately engaged and was able to trace the intrusion and stop it. The server used in the hack was terminated, and the entry point for this intrusion was sealed."
The data offered for sale includes 55 million JusPay's customer's names and contact details and 45 million transaction details, including masked debit and credit card information, Rajaharia says. The data is being offered for sale for $8,000, payable in bitcoin, he adds.
