Multiple outlets report claims by a hacker group that they have obtained confidential information from State Bank of India (SBI), including records tied to 3.75 lakh accounts. The claim also includes reference to 2,722 PDF documents, which the hackers say contain sensitive customer and application-related information.
The reports are consistent in treating the breach as unverified. Mint and Economic Times both note that the authenticity, origin and extent of the alleged exposure remain in doubt. Economic Times and related coverage add that the threat actor characterizes the disclosure as the first release of the dataset, and that—if genuine—the information could be used for identity theft, phishing, and financial fraud, including attempts to submit fraudulent loan applications. India Today similarly frames the issue as user data being at risk based on the hackers’ claims, rather than confirmed access by any outside party.
Across outlets, the core facts repeated are the claimed dataset size and the number of PDF files, while details about what the data supposedly includes are mentioned more explicitly in some reports than others. All accounts emphasize that SBI has not confirmed the allegation within the information provided.
