Bank of Baroda said a recent data leak linked to a reported cyberattack stemmed from the compromise of a single employee's email account after claims emerged that up to one terabyte of data, including customers' Aadhaar details, was leaked on the darknet. The lender said its core banking systems were not affected.
"The bank has robust information security protocols in place. The incident involved compromise of an employee's email account, resulting in unauthorised access to certain data. The matter was promptly identified, and immediate containment measures were implemented. The bank's core banking systems were not accessed and continue to remain secure."
