RBI Warning: The Reserve Bank of India has issued a warning to crores of bank account holders in the country. In its warning, the Reserve Bank told the account holders that one mistake of yours may result in huge losses. Due to the ever increasing cyber attacks in the digital world, bank account holders need to be cautious. Due to one mistake of the users, access to their account may get into the hands of cyber criminals. After this, cyber criminals can also empty their account.
What is RBI’s warning?
The Reserve Bank of India has posted a warning video on social media platform X, explaining ways to keep bank accounts safe. Also, RBI said that people should not accidentally click on any unknown link found on their smartphones. Cyber criminals send such unknown links to bank account holders through SMS or e-mail and WhatsApp messages. By clicking on these, cyber criminals get access to the users’ phones or devices.
Once cyber criminals get access to the device, they can hack the user’s bank account and drain the account. RBI has asked users to be cautious of such SMS and e-mails. The Central Bank also said in its video message that not only through unknown links, but also in the name of OTP, in the name of customer care and in other ways, users can be cheated.
Don’t make this mistake even by mistake
