A new wave of social engineering attacks is targeting millions of State Bank of India customers across the country. Fraudsters are sending fake messages warning users that their YONO banking app will be deactivated unless they update their Aadhaar number immediately. <\/p>\n
The scam has been circulating through SMS, WhatsApp, and unsolicited emails, creating a false sense of urgency to trick unsuspecting users into taking dangerous action.<\/a><\/p>\n The attackers rely on fear and urgency to push victims into clicking malicious links or downloading unauthorized APK files. <\/p>\n These APK files, once installed, can give attackers full control over a victim\u2019s device, allowing them to harvest banking credentials, OTPs, and personal information without the user even knowing. <\/p>\n The method is simple but highly effective, especially against users who are not familiar with how official banking apps are distributed.<\/a><\/p>\n Security analysts at the\u00a0State Bank of India\u00a0identified and publicly flagged this campaign in an official fraud alert, warning that these messages are entirely fake and must not be acted upon. <\/p>\n
