It was clarified later that the "hacker" was a security professional who put up all that data on the Dark Web to draw Zomato's attention to loopholes in its systems.

Edit - Turns out the OP's article mentions the same thing. Might as well confess a personal bias - every time I see a Daily Mail article, I can't help but think about how they served as a Nazi mouthpiece for years before the war, so all their stuff's got to be inaccurate/biased.

That conclusion doesn't really follow from the premise.

I agree, but as someone who hates daily mail because I don't find it credible nor to have much depth; it does speak them being historically pretty shit as wel

If you want some more historical fun, go back and look up which newspapers were supportive of Japanese internment :)
