    Is Reliance jio selling user data?             Anonymous India Claims


Shocking news for the Reliance Jio users, as per the information shared by hacktivist group Anonymous Reliance Jio is selling the user voice call data to ad networks located in the Singapore and US without giving any prior information to the users.

The must-have apps for every Reliance Jio users My Jio and Jio Dialer are sharing the call data to the ad networks. In return, Reliance Jio is getting revenue from those networks. A year back the similar practice comes into the limelight with Airtel. Airtel began to sell the http traffic to few ad networks to get revenue.

Reliance Jio executive clarified that the company gives more priority to the user data and privacy, it never compromises in those areas. But Anonymous mentioned how Reliance Jio is sending user data to remote servers. They used Burp tool to analyze the data packets sent over Reliance Jio voice calling application.

Reliance Jio is also using third-party SDK to develop its apps, and that means it indirectly violating the user privacy, anonymous said.

The facts have to be revealed by both the parties. Reliance Jio got a huge response once it commercially launched in the country. People are facing difficulties to get the Reliance Jio SIM.

Here is the process which will show you how Reliance Jio is sharing call information to foreign nations, courtesy Anonymous India:
  1. Download and install burp suite
  2. Following the download, you would then need to configure your smartphone to send traffic via burp suite –
  3. Download My Jio app and Jio Dialer application from Google Play Store
  4. Start capturing and make sure that you have kept ‘intercept’ off
  5. Following this, move over to My Jio app and then allow it to update
  6. Next, proceed to home and make use of the native dialer to make calls
  7. You will then notice that calling data is being sent in random intervals to app.cobal.mad-me.com from mobile.
  8. You will then be able to get the packets being sent in proxy history.

You can now install and see, just like Anonymous have done it, that Reliance Jio is indeed sending out caller information to foreign nations. While the whole debate about user privacy and WhatsApp is being talked about in India’s high courts, are we as a nation failing to see through the home-bred corporates that share data? As of now there has been no update from Reliance Jio, and we are not sure if the company has even been asked about this yet. It would be interesting to see if, and how they address this issue, which can possibly be a threat to India’s national security.Please comment below your opinion.
