'Deliberate attack' deletes shopping app's cloudy resources
Briefly

KiranaPro's CEO Deepak Ravindran reported a deliberate cyberattack that led to the deletion of crucial GitHub and AWS resources, rendering the app inoperable. The attack, attributed to a potentially malicious insider, threatens the livelihoods of thousands of Kirana store owners and disrupts over 2,000 daily orders. Ravindran emphasized the attack's personal nature and pledged to expose the perpetrator. The startup is now focusing on rebuilding its systems with stronger security to prevent similar future incidents, while dealing with the fallout of compromised sensitive customer data.
Our startup @Kirana_Pro was deliberately hacked-entire GitHub repo & AWS data wiped. Logs suggest malicious insider action.
It wasn't random. It wasn't opportunistic. It was deliberate. And it was personal.
Our servers were breached, critical infrastructure was deleted, and sensitive customer data was compromised. The attack was a calculated attempt to undermine our mission.
We are rebuilding our systems with enhanced security measures to prevent future incidents.
