Hacker has also uploaded the data to pastebin and Mega. 20 PDF files and 1 document file are leaked online. One PDf file seems to be very important and contains 85 pages. All files are available to download via Mega.

Phr0zebMyst is a well know hacker who also has a past record of hacking into various government websites. hacking the official website of Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and leaking personal details of 50,000 users for #OpWilders.

It is more than 23 hours of the hack and files are still available to download. I am not sure why Indian government or ECIL has contacted to these file hosting websites to delete files.
