On June 22, Canara Bank’s official social media handle on platform X was compromised. The hacker changed the handle’s username to ‘ethèr.fi’, causing concern among users and banking authorities.

Canara Bank issued a statement on June 23, confirming the compromise of their official X account, @CanaraBank_X. The bank informed stakeholders about the breach and stated that all concerned teams are investigating the matter and working closely with Twitter to regain access to the compromised handle as soon as possible. They advised users not to engage with the compromised handle and apologized for any inconvenience caused.
Canara Bank has assured that all efforts are being made to secure the compromised account and prevent any further unauthorized activity.
This incident comes shortly after a similar cyber attack on Axis Bank. A few days prior, Axis Bank’s support handle on platform X was also hacked, resulting in unauthorized posts related to cryptocurrency. Axis Bank has initiated an investigation into the matter to determine the extent of the breach and mitigate any potential risks to its customers and operations.
This bank is taking several steps in compliance. Recently a Gold loan misappropriation has taken place in Telangana. This cyber attack is another one.
