Description

The Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KKNPP) is India's largest nuclear power generation facility located in the Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu. It is a flagship Indo-Russian civil nuclear project. Recently, a ransomware group named World Leaks allegedly leaked internal documents related to the plant, raising concerns about cybersecurity vulnerabilities in India's critical infrastructure. The Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) clarified that the leaked documents pertained only to non-critical facilities outside the reactor island and did not compromise nuclear safety or reactor operations.
