A Belagavi-based IT company has detected a massive online scam targeting State Bank of India (SBI) users. The Threat Intelligence team in Shreshta IT Technologies Private Limited uncovered a massive phishing scam targeting SBI users.
Shreshta founder Swapneel Patnekar says, “SBI users have been targeted in phishing attacks even in the past. This campaign involves sending phishing URLs to users via various channels, such as email, SMS and WhatsApp. The motive of the threat actors is to harvest the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of users, specifically the user’s Internet banking credentials, Aadhaar number, PAN and date of birth. This can lead to violation of privacy, and also financial loss.. We have issued an advisory to users, and also sent an alert to the bank.”
