The Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB) has registered a case after a leading hospital alleged that sensitive patient health records, personal information and confidential internal data were illegally published on a vernacular website.

The complaint was lodged by Star Hospitals CEO Rahul Medakkar, who alleged that the hospital’s IT team discovered confidential data hosted on a website identified as “warehouse.diy” without



authorisation.

The complaint further stated that login credentials to access the website were also being circulated through WhatsApp.

According to the complaint, the exposed data allegedly includes patients’ personal details, medical records, employee information and confidential hospital documents. The hospital authorities warned that the leak could expose patients and staff to identity theft, financial fraud, harassment and reputational damage.
