Upstox Data Breach (2021)

If you are a customer of Upstox, here’s what’s now in circulation.

In April 2021, Indian brokerage firm Upstox suffered a data breach. The incident exposed extensive personal information on over 100k customers including names, genders, dates of birth, physical addresses, banking information and passwords stored as bcrypt hashes. Extensive "know your customer" information was also exposed including scans of bank statements, cheques and identity documents complete with Aadhaar numbers.

Leaked data cannot be deleted from the internet — anyone claiming otherwise is lying. Broker listings can be removed. We do the second, and show you exactly what to fix from the first.

What to do now

Steps that match what this notice says was exposed

Every step below is free and you do it yourself, and none of it depends on Upstox.

Tell your bank before you do anything else. Account and routing details are the fastest-moving of the fields in this notice. Call the number on the back of your card rather than any number in an email, and ask them to watch the account and reissue the card.

One more, whatever was exposed: a breach notice is a favourite disguise for a phishing email. If a message about this arrives, do not use its links — go to the company’s site yourself, or call the number on your statement.
