Rajkot Civic GIS Website Hit by Cyberattack; Over 400GB of Sensitive Data Feared Stolen A cyberattack on the Geographic Information System (GIS) website of the Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) in India has raised alarm after officials confirmed that over 400GB of data may have been compromised. The breach, discovered recently, targeted sensitive information related to government infrastructure, including details on schools, hospitals, bridges, and public offices in Rajkot. Upon detecting the incident, the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) team—responsible for the website’s hosting—isolated the GIS platform from the network and launched an investigation to assess the scope of the leak and identify the vulnerabilities exploited. Authorities are working to determine whether the stolen data includes critical civic and infrastructure records, heightening concerns among residents and local officials. The RMC administration has since alerted BSNL’s cybersecurity team, though no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. The incident underscores growing risks to public sector digital infrastructure, particularly as threat actors increasingly target government databases for espionage or financial gain. Further details on the breach’s origin and impact remain under investigation.
