Tata Electronics Breach Exposed Apple iPhone 18 Pro Supplier Data

India is investigating a suspected cyberattack on Tata Electronics after a threat actor claimed to have breached the company’s internal network and leaked more than 630 GB of data spanning over 204,300 files. The exposed material reportedly includes confidential Apple supplier specifications, component and supplier lists, internal code names, testing photos, and images tied to unreleased iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models, along with documents linked to Tesla, TSMC, and Qualcomm. Reports said the stolen files had been circulating on the dark web since at least June 10, and the extortion and ransomware group World Leaks was identified as the actor behind the publication.

Tata Electronics said it detected a data incident on some systems weeks earlier, activated incident-response protocols immediately, and maintained that business operations were not affected. The company reportedly restricted internal access to sensitive systems and brought in a global consultant for a forensic audit, while Indian officials said the case had been reported to CERT-In and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology opened a probe. Apple said it was concerned, was investigating the exposure, and was working with Tata on longer-term security measures.
