AU Small Finance Bank Probes Potential Data Leak From SaaS Platform After Hacker Group Claims Breach

  • AU Small Finance Bank announced Friday it is investigating a potential data leak involving a Salesforce platform after the ScarlettGroup hacking group claimed to have breached the lender's systems and accessed sensitive customer information.
  • Cybersecurity firm Foresiet reported that ScarlettGroup operates a Tor-based leak site and has previously targeted the Rajasthan Police and Genesys Cloud Services, threatening to publish data if negotiations fail.
  • According to the attackers, the "compromised" data includes KYC records, PAN, and Aadhaar details; the bank stated its internal systems remain unaffected and banking services operate normally.
  • Over 13.7 lakh customers are potentially affected while Salesforce reported no evidence its platform was compromised, as the SFB continues investigating the alleged breach.
  • A recent State Bank of India exposure where 3,897 customer records were confirmed breached adds to broader concerns about India's cyber hygiene as AI threats intensify.
