2/7 ๐ฒ The bot allowed users to input a mobile number and it would respond with personal info connected to the number, including name, gender, DOB, and vaccination center. #InfoSec #DataLeak
3/7 ๐ The leaked data also includes personal info on several politicians and journalists. This is a serious breach of privacy with significant implications. #DataProtection #PrivacyRights
