Thousands of Indian bank transfer records found online

SUMMARY

A data breach has exposed 273,000 sensitive bank transfer documents in India, including account numbers and personal details. Discovered by cybersecurity firm UpGuard, the unsecured server hosted documents for transactions processed via the National Automated Clearing House (NACH). The data was linked to at least 38 banks, but the reason for the exposure is unclear.

UpGuard notified affected entities, including Aye Finance and the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), but many parties are denying responsibility. Despite securing the data, the incident raises questions about accountability in cybersecurity lapses.
