Kudankulam nuclear plant data breached, NPCIL says core systems untouched

A cyber incident involving the Kudankulam nuclear plant has raised concerns after a ransomware group leaked files related to the facility online. While the Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) assures that core systems remain secure, the breach affected a third-party provider's server and involved conventional balance of plant common service facilities. The leaked data does not impact nuclear safety or security systems, but the incident underscores the vulnerability of nuclear plants to cyber threats. This breach highlights the importance of robust cybersecurity measures to protect critical infrastructure.
