What Was the Breach?

A significant data breach at Unacademy in January 2020 exposed the private information of over 22 million users.

User information from workers at Reliance Industries, TCS, HDFC, SBI, Infosys, Cognizant, Wipro, Accenture, Facebook, and Google was exposed, among other companies. 

On a dark web forum, the records were listed for sale with a $2000 asking price. Later, Unacademy administrators acknowledged that about 11 million accounts had been compromised, but that no sensitive information had been exposed or exploited. In their formal comment on the matter, Unacademy reaffirmed the fact that no sensitive information had been exposed.

It received criticism in May 2021 for publishing questions in their Test Series that had a religious bent and were deemed to be anti-national in nature.  The removal of educators from the system frequently, leaving the curriculum unfinished, is a complaint made by learners. Unacademy has come under fire for firing both educators and full-time staff.

After Unacademy built a teaching centre in Kota and hired numerous teachers from Allen, Brajesh Maheshwari, the co-founder and director of Allen Career Institute, gave his staff members a heads-up not to leave the organization and go to the other offline coaching centres.
