The Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA), a government-owned public utility responsible for maintaining power and water resources in Pakistan, has allegedly been compromised. The incident was brought to light on a dark web forum where a user claimed to be sharing a “new database” belonging to the organization. The leak purportedly involves an internal backup file, suggesting unauthorized access to the authority’s systems.
According to the actor, the compromised archive has an uncompressed size of 3.31 GB and contains a “large volume of data.” The allegedly compromised data includes:
-
A specific database backup file named
