BoB hit by cyberattack; 1 TB of data allegedly leaked

State-run Bank of Baroda (BoB) has suffered a major cyberattack in which nearly 1 terabyte (TB) of customer and corporate data was allegedly leaked on the dark web.

Cybersecurity experts said the leaked data includes customer application forms, Aadhaar details, loan records, branch documents, internal audit files, and corporate IT data.

Bank of Baroda on Monday said the breach originated from an employee’s email account, which resulted in unauthorised access to certain data. However, it clarified that its core banking systems were not compromised and remain secure.
