India's Biggest ATM Breach? 3.2 Million Debit Cards Across 19 Banks May Have Been Compromised (bloombergquint.com) 34

Posted by msmash from the across-the-world dept.
A total of 32 lakh (3.2 million) debit cards across 19 banks could have been compromised on account of a purported fraud, the National Payment Corporation of India said in a statement. BloombergQuint adds: "The genesis of the problem was receipt of complaints from few banks that their customer's cards were used fraudulently mainly in China and USA while customers were in India," the NPCI said. "The complaints of fraudulent withdrawal are limited to cards of 19 banks and 641 customers. The total amount involved is Rs 1.3 crore as reported by various affected banks to NPCI." SISA Security, a Bengaluru-based company is currently undertaking a forensic study to identify the extent of the problem and will submit a final report in November. Initial reports had suggested that ATMs operated by Hitachi Payment Services had been attacked by malware and were the source of the breach. However, the company has said in a statement that an interim report by the audit agency does not suggest any breach or compromise in its systems.

    This makes a change. I'm more used to seeing news articles about people's cards being used fraudulently in India while the card owner is in the UK.

  • Nobody's made a comment about doing the needful yet? This place is going down one jolly old hill, dear chaps.
