- Bajaj Auto formally notified the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team and made the required disclosure under SEBI’s Regulation 30.
- The firm has not revealed the ransomware variant, whether any data was copied or encrypted, or which internal systems were affected, leaving key impact details unresolved.
