A recent report by Zscaler ThreatLabz has highlighted a rise in phishing attacks targeting customers of major Indian banks, including ICICI, HDFC, and Axis Bank. The attacks involve creating fake websites or emails that look like the banks’ legitimate websites, tricking users into entering their personal information, which is then stolen. These banks are targeted due to their large customer base and potential financial gains for the attackers. The report serves as a warning for bank customers to be extra cautious. To protect yourself, be wary of unsolicited emails or messages, verify website addresses before logging in, beware of unrealistic deals, avoid public Wi-Fi for financial transactions, and enable two-factor authentication. While details of the specific attack methods are not available, banks have acknowledged the report and are committed to protecting customer data. It is essential for both banks and customers to increase vigilance to prevent these types of attacks.
Increased hacking attempts have been reported against the customer bases of ICICI, HDFC, and Axis Bank, posing a growing threat to their security.
