Bank of Baroda is investigating a cybersecurity incident involving 700GB–1TB of customer data and internal documents circulating on the dark web, attributed to a compromised employee email account rather than core banking system breach. The incident highlights growing cyber risks to Indian financial institutions and follows similar breaches at other major Indian organisations.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Email accounts are now a clearer attack vector into banking data than the vault itself—if you're selling employee security, identity verification or document encryption to Indian banks, you've just got proof of concept. Your sales cycle just got shorter and your TAM got wider.
