Railway ministry denies IRCTC server data breach

The Union Ministry of Railways has denied media reports about a potential breach of Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTCT) data, and said that the data breach was not from the IRCTC servers.

“On analysis of sample data, it was found that the sample data key pattern does not match with IRCTC history application programming interface (API). Suspected data breach is not from the IRCTC servers,” the Railway Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
