Indian Cyber Agencies Warn Banks of AI-Powered Cyberattacks Causing Financial Frauds
India's central cyber security agencies, including the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) and CERT-In, have issued advisories warning banks, NBFCs, and fintech firms about a rise in AI-powered cyberattacks. These attacks exploit unpatched software and misconfigured systems to execute unauthorized fund transfers at machine speed, often using automated fund disbursement systems and APIs. Agencies urge financial institutions to strengthen security measures, monitor transactions closely, and report incidents promptly to mitigate multi-crore fraud risks.
