Indian Court Orders Star Health to Aid Telegram in Deleting Data Leak Bots

Madras High Court mandates Star Health to provide details for Telegram to remove chatbots leaking sensitive customer information.

Star Health's customer data, including medical and tax details, was leaked via Telegram chatbots following a cyberattack.
Madras High Court directed Star Health to share specific details with Telegram to facilitate the removal of these chatbots.
Telegram has agreed to delete the data if provided with the necessary information by Star Health, as it cannot independently search for leaks.
Star Health is dealing with a $68,000 ransom demand and is investigating possible internal involvement in the data breach.
The court emphasized the urgency of the situation, with the case set to resume in two weeks.
