In a shocking revelation, reports suggest that around 300 small Indian banks' websites across the country have been targeted by ransomware attacks. This alarming development has left many wondering if the cybersecurity of these financial institutions is under threat.
According to sources, the affected banks are primarily smaller regional banks, which may not have the same level of security measures in place as larger national banks. As a result, their websites and possibly other systems could be vulnerable to attacks by cybercriminals seeking to extort money from them.
