SBI, HDFC, PNB, ICICI, Axis Bank customers should be beware of this banking fraud!
State Bank of India, ICICI, HDFC, Axis Bank and Punjab National Bank (PNB) customers have been warned about a serious security flaw. According to a recent report, cybercriminals are trying to lure Indian users to disclose important personal information using the mobile apps of the aforementioned banks. The report suggests that suspicious messages prompted users to submit an application for disbursement of the income tax refund.Â
The cybercriminals are attaching a link with these messages that looks like an income tax e-filing web page. While users believe that this could benefit them, the hackers take advantage here to extract information from the users. The banking apps that have been targeted include State Bank of India (SBI), ICICI, HDFC, Axis Bank and Punjab National Bank (PNB).Â
