The attack affected C-Edge Technologies, a provider of banking technology systems to small banks across the country, they said.
C-Edge Technologies did not respond to an email seeking comment.
The Reserve Bank of India, the country’s banking and payment system regulator, did not respond to Reuters’ request for comment.
