"The Bombay High Court has granted urgent ad-interim relief to Generali Central Life Insurance Company after the insurer reportedly suffered a ransomware attack by an anonymous hacker group identifying itself as "Medusa." The Mumbai-based insurance firm is a joint venture between the Central Bank of India and the Generali Group, which is a global insurance and asset management group operating in over 50 countries."
"After hearing the case, Justice Arif S. Doctor ordered a temporary injunction restraining the unknown perpetrators and their associates from using, publishing, or disclosing any confidential data stolen from the plaintiff until the court delivers a final verdict. As part of this, he directed the Union of India and the Department of Telecommunications, listed as Defendants, to immediately remove, block, and disable all accounts, content, domain names, phone numbers, and email addresses linked to the stolen data of the insurance firm."
The Bombay High Court granted urgent ad-interim relief to Generali Central Life Insurance after a ransomware attack by an anonymous group calling itself "Medusa" compromised sensitive data. The court restrained unknown perpetrators from using or disclosing stolen confidential data and ordered authorities to remove or disable accounts, domains, phone numbers, and email addresses linked to the breach. The court named the Union of India and the Department of Telecommunications as defendants and required blocking within 24 hours of notice and filing of an affidavit of compliance. Repeated judicial directives of this nature could overburden DoT and indicate the need for specialized cyber takedown procedures, platform-level mechanisms, clear SOPs, incident-response teams, and international cooperation.
