sensitive manufacturing and engineering data exposure Tata Electronics, the electronics and semiconductor manufacturing arm of the Tata Group conglomerate, confirmed suffering a cyberattack, but said it did not affect its operations. The scale of the breach, however, could be rather extensive.

"A few weeks ago, Tata Electronics identified a cybersecurity incident on
some of our systems, the company said in a statement to Reuters. Our response protocols were deployed immediately, and the incident has had no impact on
our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected," it said, without going into details. This statement came almost two weeks after a threat actor called World Leaks posted a large database on its data leak site, claiming to have come from Tata Electronics, and affecting companies such as Apple and Tesla.

The company supplies Apple with back panels, enclosures, and circuit board parts, among other things. For Tesla, its been supplying it with chips, circuit board assemblies, and vehicle motor controller units, since 2025.

World Leaks uploaded an archive of 204,341 files, weighing 630.4GB. Allegedly, it contains numerous confidential and proprietary data, including Apple and Tesla schematics, passport scans, and other sensitive files. You

Reuters said Tata was being extorted for the files but did not say how much money the threat actors were demanding, or if the negotiations were progressing in any way.

Some security researchers analyzed the leaked files and said that they contained information about manufacturing and engineering processes from
these two companies. Among the researchers were Cybernews, who claim to have seen hundreds of references to Apple and Tesla, a folder named com.apple.factorydata, as well as documents labeled as proprietary or confidential.
