A ransomware group called World Leaks posted what it claims is data stolen from Tata Electronics, dumped on a dark web site accessible only through Tor. The listing describes 204,300 files totaling more than 630 gigabytes. Cybersecurity researchers who reviewed the data emails, SAP records, event logs going back years, and documents with footers reading “This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc.” Other files carried Tesla’s own trade secret markings.

The presence of Apple and Tesla footers in Tata Electronics' logs strongly suggests a shared supply chain environment where vendor data is likely stored on common infrastructure, creating a single point of failure for multiple OEMs. This highlights how third-party integrations can inadvertently aggregate high-value intellectual property across unrelated corporate boundaries, making the breach impact far broader than the initial target.
