A tranche of sensitive defence data – that includes engineering design of a weapon, details of a new Air Force facility, procurement plans, and India’s strategic collaborations with other countries – was allegedly stolen by a hacker group and put on sale.

The data appeared to have been stolen from the device of a former Defence Ministry official,Puneet Agarwal, who served as Joint Secretary in the Defence Ministry between 2019 and 2021. Details of his Aadhaar, financial records and personal travel documents were present in the leaked data, suggesting the breach didn’t stem from DRDO’s core IT infrastructure.. It also included evacuation protocols for the President, the Prime Minister and other VVIPs in case of an aerial attack, posing a serious national security risk.

The leak was announced by ransomware group Babuk Locker 2.0 on March 10, 2025. The group said it had exfiltrated 20 terabytes of data from DRDO’s systems, including classified defence documents and a vast repository of credential logs. It publicly released 753 MB of the data leak sample. Among other sensitive information, the sample also included files related to upgradation of T9 Bhishma Tank and contains details about India’s defence collaborations with countries such as Finland, Brazil, and the United States of America.

Athenian Tech released screenshots of their chat with Babuk Locker 2.0 showing the hackers conversing in Indonesian language, indicating that they could potentially belong to Indonesia.
