Krishnan, however, said the matter remains under evaluation, indicating that authorities are continuing to monitor the situation.
Earlier, in the government's first official response to the incident, the MeitY Secretary had said that the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) was examining the reported data breach and working with the company to assess its implications.
