India’s HDFC Life says earlier data theft had no ‘material impact’

(Reuters) – India’s HDFC Life Insurance said on Thursday that a data theft it reported in November did not result in any adverse material impact and has been resolved.

“The unauthorized exploitation was confined to a specific, identified issue,” the insurer said in an exchange filing, without disclosing further details.

HDFC Life, in November, said that an unknown source shared certain customer data with the company with “mala fide intent”.
