The situation is still developing, and further details are expected to emerge as the investigation progresses.

Authorities and cybersecurity professionals are likely to collaborate to trace the source of the breach and hold the perpetrators accountable.

This alleged data breach is a stark reminder of the ever-present threats in the digital age.

Companies must remain vigilant and proactive in protecting their data to prevent such incidents.
