Hacker group claims SBI data leak; bank has not confirmed

 

An anonymous hacker group calling itself “Sirisium” has claimed possession of confidential data linked to as many as 3.75 lakh State Bank of India customers, according to information cited by cybersecurity account CyberPulse56. 

The group has allegedly claimed access to data connected to more than 3,75,000 accounts and 2,722 PDF files. The material is said to include personal customer information, loan applications, supporting documents, account-opening applications, addresses and other application-related details. 
The authenticity, origin and full extent of the alleged data exposure have not been independently verified.

CyberPulse56 stated that the authenticity, origin, and extent of the alleged exposure had not been verified. If the information is legitimate it could in principle be put to misuse through identity theft, financial fraud, targeted phishing and fraudulent loan applications. There is no information available to show how the data in question was obtained, when an intrusion might have taken place, or whether all of the records claimed are real. The State Bank of India had not yet replied to a request for comment at the time of publication. 

The available report also contains no indication that SBI had admitted to a breach impacting 3.75 lakh customers. The incident will continue to be regarded as an allegation made by the hacker group rather than a confirmed breach of SBI data until the claims have been independently verified or the bank has dealt with them.

Instagram Security Risk

Recently, attackers took over high-profile Instagram accounts, including the official Obama’s White House account and a United States Space Force chief officer. The attacker didn't break any Instagram code or crack passwords. They convinced Meta's own AI support chatbot to hand over the accounts. Meta uses an AI-powered support chatbot to help users recover locked accounts, change recovery emails, and handle account issues. The chatbot is trained to verify identity through questions and decide whether a request looks legitimate. Attackers figured out how to manipulate that decision making process. Video Credit-  x.com/chetaslua The attack consists of four main steps. Step 1: The attacker contacts Meta's AI support chatbot claiming to be the legitimate owner of a target account. They simply use Instagram's help interface and start an account recovery conversation. For high-profile targets, attackers use publicly available information such as display names, profile bios, ...

LinkedIn Rolls Out AI Slop Reporting button

                                         LinkedIn is trying to get a handle on the massive amounts of AI slop on the platform. To do that, the company is testing a new reporting tool that let users flag potential slop and removing the "rewrite with AI" button it once promoted on every post. With the new reporting tool, users will have the ability to flag posts as "seems like AI slop." Doing so will "privately flag" via the site's analytics dashboard that others "feel your post may have come off as inauthentic or heavy use of AI," LinkedIn's Chief Product Officer Hari Srinivasan wrote in an update. The move follows an earlier update that aimed to reduce the reach of AI-generated posts on the platform. The company has since done further work to improve its detection systems, Srinivasan said, which should lead to people seeing fewer AI-generated posts recommended in their feeds. Pos...

A Simple PDF Tool Outpaced Giants by doing the basics faster, cleaner, and better than anyone else.

  I am going to break down the story of a tool that I'm willing to bet you've used, but whose incredible business journey you probably know nothing about. Honestly, this is a master class for any founder looking to build something valuable from scratch. I am calling it the Bootstrapper’s Playbook. A Wild Reality Check Let’s just start with a wild fact. There's a website out there, a deceptively simple one, that in places like India pulls in more traffic than Amazon. I'm serious. Millions and millions of people rely on it every single day. Any guesses? It's iLovePDF. If you've ever needed to quickly merge, split, or compress a PDF file, you've almost definitely landed on this site. But what most people have no idea about is how this massive global platform was built. And that is where the real story begins. Born from Frustration So, let's go all the way back to the beginning. Because this whole thing wasn't born from some grand business plan or a fanc...
