Data leak: India to Continue Probe Despite Cambridge Analytica Closure

The government will continue with its enquiry into the Cambridge Analytica data leak issue despite the firm announcing closure of business. 
Sources said, the ongoing probe will continue as the liability of the company existed prior to the closure announcement. 
The UK based data analytics and political consulting firm has been under fire in various countries for allegedly harvesting data from almost 87 million Facebook users and leveraging them for political campaigns.
The government had issued notices to both Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, confronting them with questions on data breach issue. The last date for the two companies to respond is 10th of this month.
Yesterday, the British firm announced that it was immediately ceasing all its operations and filing for insolvency in Britain and the United States.
