‘ഡി.ആർ.ഡി.ഒ. ഡേറ്റ ചോർന്നിട്ടില്ല’; പ്രചരിച്ചത് പ്രധാന്യമില്ലാത്ത പഴയ രേഖകളെന്ന് പ്രതിരോധമന്ത്രാലയം

According to Mathrubhumi News, the Indian Ministry of Defence has officially refuted recent claims regarding a data breach at the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). In a formal statement, the ministry clarified that the information circulating in the public domain does not constitute a security breach of current, classified systems.

Officials explained that the documents being shared online are outdated and contain information that is no longer sensitive or of strategic importance. The ministry emphasized that the integrity of DRDO's current research and operational data remains intact and secure. This clarification comes in response to growing speculation regarding the safety of defense-related digital infrastructure.

The government has urged the public and media outlets to exercise caution when sharing unverified reports concerning national security agencies. By dismissing the claims as a misrepresentation of old, non-critical records, the ministry aims to quell concerns about potential vulnerabilities in India's premier defense research body. No further incidents have been reported, and the ministry maintains that standard cybersecurity protocols remain in full effect.
