AHMEDABAD: It could well be one of the biggest data thefts in the country.
An Ahmedabad-based BPO owner, Maulik Dave, has been accused of data theft
from a Florida-based company and selling them to its rival companies in
the US.

Dave stole data worth Rs 1 crore from the company. With the help of his
accomplice based in the US, Milan Dabhi, he sold the data to competitors
of the company in the US.

The nondescript office of Business Bee Solutions along the SG Road, a BPO
working in the IT sector, has been closed for three months soon after
Florida-based Company Noble Ventures Inc. cancelled their contract with
Dave.

He then shifted his operations to his home in Vejalpur. Dave had got a
contract for two years for designing and maintenance of the website of
Noble Ventures Inc. This company provides customer database of 1.25 crore
US citizens to various marketing companies in the US and also has a
client-base in other international markets.
