The breach wiped out sensitive customer information, including names, addresses, and payment details. This incident has left the KiranaPro app online but unable to process orders, putting its planned expansion to 100 cities on hold. The attack occurred around May 24-25, after hackers accessed KiranaPro&#8217;s Amazon Web Services (AWS) and GitHub root accounts, likely through a former employee&#8217;s credentials. The startup has reached out to GitHub support and is taking legal action against former employees. KiranaPro, which offers a voice-based ordering interface in multiple languages, has 55,000 customers and processes 2,000 daily orders across 50 cities. Backed by firms like Blume Ventures and angel investors including Olympic medalist PV Sindhu, KiranaPro is working to recover from this significant setback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indian grocery delivery startup KiranaPro has suffered a major cyberattack, resulting in the deletion of all its server data, as confirmed by the company&#8217;s founder and CEO, Deepak Ravindran.
