Why it matters

If confirmed, the access exposes customer information, payment and bank transfer records, inventory, financial reports, and internal applications, with read, write, and export permissions. A buyer could extract data at scale and commit fraud inside core systems of a major Indian electronics retailer.

What to do

Audit all super administrator accounts and active sessions now, force a reset of privileged credentials, and review access and data export logs. Confirm or rule out unauthorized access internally before any external communication.
