On this instance, our researchers have identified a reputable seller, who is selling 47.5 Million Indians Truecaller records for $1000. The data is from 2019. We were also taken off by surprise with such a low price point (in our opinion).

We were sceptical, but considering we have a large number of subscribers and enterprises in India, we decided to go ahead with the validation stage.
As part of our preliminary analysis, we noticed that the information was quite well organised such by state, cities and carrier.

Cyble researchers are progressing with their analysis, but clearly, this leak may have a potential impact on broader users in India such as spams, scams, identity thefts etc.
