A hacker has claimed to have obtained the personal information of 48.5 million users of a COVID health code mobile app run by the city of Shanghai, the second claim of a breach of the Chinese financial hub's data in just over a month.

In an expletive-laden rant, Tom Cruise launched into Mission: Impossible 7 crew members for breaching COVID-19 safety protocols. Cruise said he would “fire” people for a repeat offence and reminded them of their responsibility.

Pharmaceutical giant Dr. Reddy's Laboratories today said that it had isolated all its data centre services as a preventive measure following a cyberattack. The drug maker had shut its key plants globally due to the breach at its servers, ET Now had reported, citing sources.

On Wednesday, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Union IT Minister, said the app was “robust” in terms of privacy protection and data security. The government also said no data or security breach had been identified with the app after concerns about potential security issues were raised by tech experts.

The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) called on Monday for a pan-European mobile app to track the spread of the new coronavirus instead of the current hodge-podge of apps used in various EU countries which could breach people's privacy rights.
