Tata Electronics confirms cyberattack as hackers leak data

Tata Electronics has confirmed in a statement to BleepingComputer that it was the target of a cyberattack that impacted parts of its IT infrastructure.

The company emphasizes that its operations continued to run normally and were not affected by the incident.

"A few weeks ago, Tata Electronics identified a cybersecurity incident on some of our systems,” a Tata Electronics spokesperson told BleepingComputer.

“Our response protocols were deployed immediately, and the incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.”

Tata Electronics is a division of the Tata Group, an Indian multinational conglomerate, focused on electronic components and semiconductor manufacturing.

Since its founding in 2020, it has quickly grown to become one of India’s largest technology manufacturing companies, currently producing and assembling Apple iPhones and iPhone components.

While Tata Electronics has not disclosed the threat actor’s identity, the statement comes in response to a related claim by the World Leaks threat group, which leaked data allegedly stolen from Tata.

Among the leaked information, there are multiple directories and documents allegedly containing manufacturing data for Apple products, including internal component schematics, PCB designs, material specifications, and SDK files.

BleepingComputer has contacted Apple to inquire about the claims and whether any proprietary data has been exposed, but we have not yet received a response.

World Leaks is considered a rebrand of the Hunters International ransomware group, which wound down its operations in July 2025.

Unlike Hunters International, which used data encryptors in its attacks, World Leaks operates purely as a data extortion group, stealing files and threatening to leak them online.

Other high-profile victims of the same threat group are computer manufacturer Dell, which confirmed a breach in July 2025, and sportswear giant Nike, which launched an investigation after a claimed theft of 1.4 TB of files in January 2026.
