Updated: PayU India exposes multiple users’ card details: report

Update on March 19: In a statement, PayU India's security and IT head M.Navaneethan said that the use of information on saved cards is encrypted and "all users have to mandatorily go through CVV and OTP authentication in order to complete every transaction".
