Indian Cyber Agencies Warn Banks and Fintechs of AI-Powered Cyberattacks
India's central cybercrime agencies, including the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) and CERT-In, have issued advisories warning banks, NBFCs, and fintech firms about a rising trend of AI-powered cyberattacks. These attacks exploit unpatched software and misconfigured systems to execute unauthorized, multi-crore fund transfers at machine speed via APIs and automated payment systems. Agencies urge financial institutions to strengthen cybersecurity measures, monitor transactions closely, and report incidents promptly to mitigate risks and aid investigations.
