SBI says cyberattack exposed 3,897 customer records on dark web

State Bank of India said a cyberattack resulted in the disclosure of 3,897 customer records containing personally identifiable information on the dark web, according to a Reuters report published October 21.

The brief disclosure identifies the number of records and the location where the information appeared, but does not provide further details about the attack vector, the data fields involved, or whether customer accounts were accessed.

SBI customers should rely on notices from the bank and relevant authorities for any instructions. The available report does not establish that funds were stolen or that all customer accounts were affected.

The available Reuters dispatch did not say whether the records were encrypted, how the attacker obtained them, or what remediation SBI had begun. Those omissions matter: the incident confirms disclosure of records, but does not by itself establish account takeover, financial loss, or the exposure of every customer.
