A private bank in Mumbai fell victim to a phishing scam resulting in the loss of lakhs of rupees for 40 of its customers.
The scam involved sending fake text messages with a link to update KYC and PAN details, which the customers clicked on, leading to their accounts being compromised.
Among the victims was actress Shweta Menon, who lost money due to the scam.
The incident highlights the need for individuals to exercise caution and be vigilant when receiving unsolicited messages or emails, especially when they involve sensitive financial information.
