Eastern Indian Regional Council

Eastern Indian Regional Council, also known as EIRC, is an organisation headquartered in India. It operates as a regional council serving the eastern part of the country. Its primary function involves managing membership records for students affiliated with the council. The council maintains membership records that contain identifiers such as membership numbers, names, email addresses and passwords. These records suggest the organisation provides administrative and membership services to its student constituency. By focusing on a specific geographic region, EIRC tailors its activities to the needs of students in eastern India.

In November 2016, a security breach exposed the personal information of approximately 17,000 student members of EIRC. The breach was carried out by a pentester who accessed the council’s server through an SQL injection vulnerability. The pentester leaked a subset of 2,000 records to encourage remediation while allowing time for patching. This incident highlighted the council’s responsibility for safeguarding sensitive student data. The event also drew attention to the broader issue of website security within Indian governmental and related institutions. No further details about the organisation’s ownership or parent structure are available from the provided sources.
