Major Cyberattacks Target Binance, SBI, and Other Financial Institutions Globally

Binance suffered a $6.3 billion cryptocurrency breach linked to a North Korean hacking group, with most losses later covered by the company. SBI disclosed a data breach exposing nearly 3,900 customer records but confirmed no funds were stolen. Additionally, around 20 Indian financial institutions faced attacks exploiting payment system vulnerabilities, with AI-assisted tools suspected in some cases. These incidents highlight increasing cybersecurity challenges in the financial sector.
